EXAMS- COMEDY OR TRAGEDY?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
the art and science of cracking secrets
when exams approach, their need is urgent
questions known in advance
for the rich, chances enhance
with cash, know-all touts' services are lent
brazen messages thro WhatsApp
modern touts with impunity tap
no fortress impregnable
will alone can enable
while 'chowkidar' takes his longish nap
wringing hands post-facto is comic
racket going on for ages is tragic
year-end exams be banned
for, in farce, we have landed
in this, even God's silence seems, stoic
- -
stoic- not displaying pain
chowkidar- watchman

You have nicely summed up the recurring problem whereby those entrusted with fair and safe conduct of exam show their helplessness when papers are leaked.
