Coming to School

***Out of the blue I found this poem written on a piece of a paper hidden in one of the old book. This poem was written a long time back, during those good old days. It does sound a bit primitive at some places, still I haven’t changed anything about it and have reproduced it ‘as is’ here.***

What purpose does coming to school serve

Answering this is nothing but aching ones nerve

Certain misnomers coming to my mind

But they just play seek and hide

Some come to school only to talk

While others come to school only to walk

Some have the reason of reading

While others have the reason of sleeping

Some come to school only for disturbance

While others come to school only for attendance

Some come to school only to play

While others come to school only to pray

Some come to school to be free

While others come to be on a spree

Some come to school for teachers’ test

While others have the reason to take rest

And very few of the remaining comes daily to school

Who consider knowledge & wisdom as life’s tool

It is for these very few school has some meaning

And for the rest it's nothing but a constant searching.
