Crossing Out Stupidity

Crossing out Stupidity I go through the stupidity frequently Among whom I live especially the colleagues Just the day before they all sit And consciously passed a bill From now on we shall not write the number Of students in excess for our mid day meal I say you can’t do and go like this way They say we are not doing anything illegal But really they know not This resolution becomes the confession What they did for longer time This is a crime; and this is a suitable case of felony But they know not the laws of the land they are living Upon pointing out their ignorance And consequent foolishness They go to deny and go to destroy the evidence Again without their knowledge They make themselves entitled to be booked under for destroying documents. At the beginning time of writing poetry I showed them some They read them all very carefully and laughed And said these are not a poem at all Then I went to play a trick I copied some renowned Bengali poets whom they revered as guru And handed them out to read those again The reaction was the same These could be rhymes or anything but very short of to become a poem Exposing and showing their nursery of pea size knowledge. My trick fully worked out And I become successful to pass through the huge mass of stupidity
