A Lost Child In A Dull Class Room Poem by Syed Sarwar Hussain

A LOST CHILD IN A DULL CLASS ROOM

The tedious humdrum of the tutor's voice,
Is no classroom victim's personal choice.

It stings his defenceless, unwilling ears,
And he listens naught what he sourly hears.

Like thorny growth of wild plum-trees,
Words their tangled thickets weave.

And the baffled hapless boy in class,
Is unwarily caught in the piling mass.

And deafened by the teacher's garbled blare,
He plods homeward like an image in despair.

by Dr. Syed Sarwar Hussain
