A boy is born
A hope for his family
their long awaited joy they found in him
The boy grows up
They say you have to go to school
He asks why?
To learn they say
They say you will make friends,
learn new things prepare yourself for life.
The boy does not understand but goes to school
He try’s his best
But learns soon that he can’t understand what is going on
People around him they do
He does not understand why?
The numbers go over his head
The boy can’t speak he is not confident enough
They laugh on him they put him down
He does not understand why?
He looks up to the teachers
They look down on him
They prefer the sharper ones and give them command
He does not understand why?
He asks himself
Again and again
But he can’t get it
He does not understand why?
The image of the temple of knowledge blurs in his mind
Is it a temple where you can learn?
Is it a temple for everyone?
Why he is like this?
Why doesn’t any one help him?
He asks himself
But he does not understand?
His family faces shame for him
He decides to fight the system
He thrives in a cocoon
He works hard
And he reaches there
Years later, that boy is a different person
But the rebel in him is still alive
It is time for him to break the cocoon
And shine out bright
He makes his family proud
He has learned it the hard way he knows
His learning shall continue no matter how old he grows
He has fought the sands of time and one thing he knows
Knowledge is for everyone spread it and it grows!!
