Student

Can't I become Abdul Kalam,

Can't I become Einstein,

The student sitting on the first bench with his friends raised the question 

To the teacher and the teacher smiled?

Time sprinted 

And competition became cut-throat.

Cramming of subjects 

And vomiting in the exam 

Became the trend to become illustrious.

The quest for real knowledge died.

Winning the so called battles of exam, 

Acquiring the tag of the best student, 

Joining renowned organization,

And bagging one high salary giving job in the future became the achievements.

The innocence died,

The dream of becoming exceptional 

Like Einstein and Abdul Kalam 

Had already fled from mental horizon.
