Usha Pisharody - *In Search of Children

Usha Pisharody - *In Search of Children

Jam them, cram them- br Fill them, completely, to the brim br But, dear parent, make sure br You don't mark them br Not, at least, where it shows. br br Coax them, threaten them- br Butter them, blackmail them br The carrot, let it dangle br But, make sure, the stick br Dear teacher, they don't notice. br br Dazzle them, entice them- br Show them numbers, then reserve them br For the undeserving, never mind who they are br And while you ensure competition reigns, br O Government Gods, ensure you compartmentalize them. br br Bloomin' buds, drool prospectors- br Drinking eyefuls, on the campus br Fresh meat, made to order br Satiate the system, with them- br Electrify brains, tempted to lucre br A rosy picture, the flat, the car- br And of course, the luscious bodies br Soulless, waiting to be devoured.
