But There's Something More-N
As the chairman I invited some people for presentation
Those who didn’t get invited wanted to know the reason
A reasonable thing to know why they were not invited
But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed.
Though paradoxical as it sounds, there’s often no reason
Good applicants get rejected not that it seems bad often
But there’re sufficient number of others that seem good
But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed.
There were physical limits on numbers we met in person
Not invited wasn’t because something wrong for any reason
But by other stellar applicants they’re just down pushed
But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed.
Worse to face were the hints for favors from authority
Bearing on decisions as Chairman along with committee
Handed over the post to an aspiring man fit to be deemed
But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed.
