Between Self And Slavery Poem by Vivek Tiwari
Between Self And Slavery
A demon dancing upon the sounds of frenzied knell-
That rings-but beguiling
Like all welcoming morning-bell;
Castles of grandeurstand beautiful and vast
With sweet-spoken agents,
Whose heart's constructions are viciously aghast.
Like the beguiling agents of Evil,
Who please with fake welcome and greet
Lure by offering what you long
As an open-armed token of meet.
As soon as you're lured to the bait
Accept the offer and sign the Fate-
The bond that asks for devotion and duty
Is a contract of your SELF that you sold for upto sixty.
You've to follow then,
The ferocious voice
Have to serve with sole devotion
As then, there is no other choice.
Terms & conditions applied so strictly
Within the folds of unknown mystery
(Till you're left with fate to accept
Too late to follow the Self's percept)
Sacrifying your freedom to the Demon's decorum
And all that sucks you
At the under-termed demand of Forum;
Feeds you enough-
Enough for your blood and energy
To suck you daily,
To suck your blood and drain you dry.
Pining and wailing like an imprisoned ape
Your soul cries aloud 'Escape! Escape! '
To make your soul sing leisurely
Like a Happy Laurel
Despise the bait, be self satisfied
And enjoy the flourishing floral.
Now a days the private institutions lure the employees with a lot of outwardly pomp and show and sometimes even make you fill a bond of contact for months or years or whatsoever and as soon as you signed it you've sold your Self to serve even most unwillingly as when they reveal before you their bitter secret (their strict terms & conditions)that were never mentioned earlier, you feel quite oppressed and pine but don't have any other option or choice but to wail and pine.
No doubt the schools and colleges are following the same track. The old system of schooling, when the teaching and teachers were considered the most honorable is out of date. Today it's only a contractual business. The teachers too are soul oppressed and are considered, by both the institution authorities and the guardian's part, a person who comes for money and has to work for that and that's up.
The different explanations, suggestions and queries are cordially invited.
i have to say sir you have outdone yourself, the piece speaks the truth about today's economical condition which looking at present is not something to proud of, but what can we do well this we can make people realize the truth and you have done a great job of it, hats off to you
The idea is big, the wording well you are better than me to judge, you are mastery in your piece..great work! _Soul
