Certificate Of Ignorance Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

CERTIFICATE OF IGNORANCE
The moment of unfathomable joy, I enjoyed
As if I had conquered the whole world
During course of time, Certificate of Achievements
Irritated me harassly, like certificate of ignorance
Honoured me with glory of unemployment.

Wandering door to door, without a penny in pocket
Carrying a compilation of lifetime academic certificates
To justify myself as most appropriate for job, wanted
Dramatic display of posts wanted, to recruit no other
But their own men, preplanned as formality programme

Thesis, I had prepared in context of unemployment
Along with creative solutions for accomplishment
Turned worthy for only grocery paper wrapping bag
Favouritism and nepotism gathered under one flag
To rob the rights of so many Identities like me.

How amazing you may think it really is !
A man hardly has learnt how to write alphabets
Elected as competent authority to govern our nation
How miserable creatures we really are!
When uneducated authority plans unemployment fund
As an indespensible part of government -budget.
