Under the Streetlight…

I hate going to school,

They always say, ‘study hard, you fool!’

I will never go back there again,

Can’t tolerate this brain pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t want to study anymore,

I said when I shut my room’s door.

Grabbed the phone and went for a walk,

Cursed my fate when stepped over a rock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suddenly, something caught my sight

In that biting cold night.

On road sat a boy, younger than me,

For a moment I thought, let it be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went on, changing the song track,

But I got surprised when I turned back.

He picked up a book and started to write,

He was studying under the streetlight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I approached and asked about him,

And his eyes got filled to the brim.

As a shoe polisher, he worked always,

For his family and to fund his study pays.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I realized what a huge mistake I did,

I learnt a lesson from just a kid.

Life only gives opportunities to some,

For rest, it offers obstacles to overcome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don’t waste that chance, again it won’t come,

Just think of them, who live in slum.

They always say, ‘study hard, you fool!’

But from now, I hate(d) going to school…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
