The Keys Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

The Keys

Rating: 4.9


[KEY.. a set of words contained in an answer...the mode of correcting the answer papers in a few state board examinations is by using these keys]

The examiner's work
made simple
the students intelligence
made humble

The answer to a question
made simple
the answer's relevance
made humble

The answer just need to have the 'keys'
so simple
the answer need not make any sense at all
so terrible

The examiner just has to look for the 'keys' in the answer
so simple
the examiner need not even know the basics of the subject
he is correcting.........so terrible

an illustration of technology distancing the teacher from the student, , , eventually all contact will dissipate...and only the words have motion and emotion, , , , maybe poetry can serve a better purpose.....
