TODAY in India education becomes a fundamental right
It may make the dropp out surely delight
But total literacy is not in sight
It is still a long way to fight
One Crore children benefit from the act
India joins the countries of elite
Education becomes a Constitutional right
It is a tryst with destiny of great height
To think that the law does every thing is not right
The poor and the down trodden should fight for their right
All the children from 6to 14 must go to school
But the government should be very serious about its rule
There are the rich and the poor divide
This fact no Indian can hide
The street children in cities beg for alms
The rich schoolchildren eat delicious ice creams
The out of the school child hits the hill with a hammer
The rich child in the corporate school learns latest English grammar
When corruption is the order of the day
How can the government make the children gay?
In secondary schools examination becomes a farce
My words may sound some what harsh
Mass copying is every student’s birth right
A strict teacher like me is always out of sight
Without a bribe no file moves an inch
Money always makes the right punch
I am really an optimist
But a probing journalist
I am government English teacher
Telling the truth has become my feauture
Corruption, red tape and nepotism is a mist
Every Indian should root out them from the list
Lest rowdies and goons should rule the roost
The intellectuals have nothing what so ever to boost
