Just Penned!! – Show Me The Exit

Show me the exit,
I’ve played enough!
Show me the exit,
You too have played enough!

Show me the exit,
I want to meet me!
Show me the exit,
I stayed enough in the dark!

Show me the exit,
Not another maze!
Show me the exit,
No more day to waste!

Show me the exit,
From this hell of sins!
Show me the exit,
From this luring jinx!

Show me the exit,
End the wait now!
Show me the exit,
O, eternal love!

Show me the exit,
To Thy love’s meadows!
Show me the exit,
To Thy bosom’s elixir!

Show me, show me, show me
I’m at the brink of a big bang
Calm me down
To the decibels of the universe!

Show… me… the… exit!

Just Penned!! – Schools are Failing

Image result for haunted school

The currency storm is on…!
Air conditioners hum like a boss everywhere!!
Environment-friendly is a hook, not a tag!
The schools have become obnoxious
Failing to produce humans!

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light
Schools are failing!

They tail behind money
They nail the wit of many
They feed nothing but sh*t
They certify their own crime

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light,
Schools are failing!

Virtues of life are erased
Virtually life is abased
None cares about core values
Zeros and ones hold values

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light,
Schools are failing!

Carnivals and fairs
Halloween and affairs
Have taken center-stage
Pushing heritage to the mud

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light,
Schools are failing!

Races are nurtured benign
Fractions are tutored behind
Community schools are a farce
Upon humanity at large

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light,
Schools are failing!

Money rammed out of toil
Is pounded into schools
With the excess of it,
And little wisdom

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light,
Schools are failing!

Naive heads prop up
From every school with haste
Education, lest its make-up
Is a heap of sh*t in taste

Schools are failing,
Schools are failing,
In the broad day light,
Schools are failing!

A craving corporate
Chides at the schools
It looks for robot-sitters,
And those who could handle the tools!

Just Penned!! – The Mass Production Nuts!

I may not be a best-seller
But I am a great product
Churned out from a school
That still believes in mass production

I failed in the failing History
I failed in the cheating Maths
I failed in the boiling Chemistry
I failed in the inert Physics
I failed in the changing Geography
I failed in all the odd subjects
I learned to live as a human!

No iteration of the subjects
I was titrated to learn
Nothing worked to teach me
I was left all alone

Of all the subjects I failed
Got History bluntly nailed
I remember industrialization
And I hate mass production

I hate the cruel processing
Of nature’s tender grown
Wonder why the filthy machines
Rape the crops and groan!

What’s the haste, you nasty world?!
Can’t you wait to have your grub?!
What’s the grudge, you mill houses?!
Can’t you treat the timid, whole?!

Behold! You hastily run to the grave!
Behold! You hastily kill your sanity!
Behold! You hastily fan your vanity!
Behold! You’ve beaten the poo out of this earth

From crops to guns to missiles
You’ve mass-produced it all!
Yet what’s that filth in you,
Makes you walk calm and tall?!

Oh, filthy consumers
Stop your apps that run the mills
Oh, filthy producers
Stop your mills that run the mobs!
