A Study That Costs More Than Life Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

A Study That Costs More Than Life
Carrying load of books on back
Venturing treacherous journey in tuin for
Attaining school.
Pulling themselves across river
Observing stream of roaring river, below.
With painful fingers, stained in rust.
How risky is, life of students
Living in remote village
Without any concrete bridge.
Indeed, their study cost
More than their own lives.
So dangerous, sometimes leading to deaths.
While attaining school, to make future..
They know, if they fall down
They could be sweept away forever
By current of river.
Pulley system might fail any time.
Still, they have to continue their study
At the risk of their non recoverable life.
When does the state feel
Tuins should be replaced by
Atleast, suspension bridge.
