School

In front of a table there is a crow Besides it sits a monkey with its tail coiled In the same line is a penguin, a dolphin A fox, a fish in a jar and at end there is an elephant This is not a circus Neither is it a jungle It is a complete school under a well branched tree And under its shade sits a man, a teacher on a chair He teaches as he was taught Like a parrot teaches another parrot No wrong see in it who is not genius But he is asked to take a test to gauge how genius they are And he gladly asks every one either to climb a tree or swim an ocean Here the heaven falls and all the terrible things are out of the hell Now a genius looks like fool and a stupid look like brilliant Such is the sorry state Not only of our so called well developed education system But also it is in our political and social spectrum.
