College- a Torment Camp

-Subash Khanal I have such a wish to write ‘Torment camp’ all over the walls of my college Each professor stands behind the podium and shares the sleeping tablet It’s such an adversity I come to college and learn to hate professions of the common man “Do you want to be a ploughman, without learning?” – Says the first professor “Your ignorance leads you to be a cowherd.” – Says the second professor “Is it your goal to be a soldier?” – Says the third professor “Politics – It’s the same game as prostitution” – Says the fourth professor “It’s not obligation to come to college to be a player” – Says the fifth professor “And again, the job of teaching is no good” -says the sixth professor And so on My beloved lecturer, Let me plough the land Make me learn to be a cowherd Teach me to serve the nation by being a soldier Instruct me in the ways of politics Let’s share the techniques to teach and awaken society Let me be free to choose my options We can’t become knowledgeable being apart from life.
