The Campus Disease

The Campus disease New students report fresh and healthy Soon they all become disabled and lost Polio in the limbs, river blindness in the eyes Wax in the ears and stones in the heads You can see Vice Chancellor extra-happy Continuing students scatter their lips in joy Lecturers carrying big stomachs in corridors As they plot to punish stubborn healthy lots Happy with their conditions of disabilities They acquire metallic baskets to roll around Hire bright students to do their course works And nocturnal parasites to do the daily dying Vice Chancellor as the Chief Priest in charge Bellows orders like a bull in the cathedral college And every disabled member kneels eyes closed, Praying, “Prof. Prof. “whom to obey but thee!”
