Dear Life!

DEAR LIFE!

Blazing heat, the silencing silences
the dripping drops of mournful sweat
this place is burning and becomes a threat
here the stars don't shine, but DAD I am fine.

You have sent me here, with a million dreams
but lies within, is my own little dream.
To be free of pain and a soul with screams
 here the stars don't shine, but MOM I am fine.

Tell the dazzling lights and those flying kites
don't come near me, don't show me sites.
I am bound to score, I'll be a bore.
Why worry, when no one's mine?
Here the stars don't shine, but BRO I am fine.

I won't utter a word, I'll become a nerd,
I won't cherish those days, when my wishes were heard.
I am living on rules, I am turning mad.
I was born free MOM, I will die chained DAD.
Here the stars don't shine, but GOD I am fine.

It's a satire on modern day education system which has shackled the dreams and hopes of youngsters. The way we hide our wishes behind what others expect out of us and become a puppet for life. Let's break those shackles and aim high to realize the beauty of existence and uniqueness that each individual carries within him/her.
