Ah! Teachers` Day..... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

What I gather from my eyes and ears
education business is like a swollen thumb.
Demand and supply is a great rule.
The essence of knowledge is drowned in deep sea.
Students dip their necks into trough(Syllabus)
and munch till a semester or exam is over.
Guardians and schools chew mark sheets.
And society needs shiny stickers or tags!

None should be squarely blamed for this.
We have to click for the prospects!
Yet we carry on with the yearly Teachers' Day.
It looks like some paper flowers thank some statuettes!
Many tutors throw sumptuous feasts to their batches
in gorgeous gratitude of their annual hefty income.
Good exceptions surely deserve heartiest kudos.
I loudly fie on the rest larger communities!
