A trade is running in the market,
floating by the name of education,
trained employees are its products,
raw material is our generation.

Seems like an apposite industry
during inspecting it from distance,
closeness discloses many mysteries,
truth is beyond our acceptance.

The earth in her ancient times
linked education with salvation,
character, personality,purity,morality
were its veritable intentions.

As the time is flying away,
history is being inclosed in books,
trends and traits are blowing away
to indulge the hunger of some crooks.

Competition, deletion, selection, frustration
are presents of today's education,
prestige,bank balance and so called ‘fun’
are motivations for our generation.

This regime has installed a system
where conquest has sovereignity,
but who will make them enlighten
that their victory is also unsteady.

when anxiety arrives from this trap,
many lapse in their tolerance,
then they question to themselves,
what is the purpose of my existence?

To make a man self-reliant and self-less
are apparent goals of education,
without cognizing the supreme truth
living this life is a massive destruction.
