Competition Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

Everyone competes nowadays,
Birth to death, here it exists.
Parents make it sure always,
Purchase seats for their kids.

From LKG to a profession,
Spend a lot on education,
Only to make their wards,
Compete with dear friends.

Teach to trample others,
Mercilessly, up it goes,
Even if he got 98 marks,
Complain about two, lost.

Compare them with other kids,
Lose a child's confidence,
Progress card emphasizes,
Keep the marks up always.


Every child is really unique,
He cannot be another, genuine,
Everyone truly is a genius,
In his own predestined ways.

Scores make them bloody idiots,
Overtake all, forcefully it says,
Make them useless and enemies,
Turn them to psychic violence.

Those who have fallen in this race,
In the ruthless, cruel competition,
Laments to the entire civilization,
"Don't lead us to such a culmination."

"We were all born brilliant,
We could have proved talent,
But you did never motivate,
Always asking us to imitate."

"Because of your negative attitude,
We are like this, totally neglected,
A negative attitude makes us flat,
Live with a sense of clear defeat."


"We suffer from your crazy mutilation,
You threw us into such a competitio
