Degree of Any Sort



Blind hunger for a Degree of any sort


Irrespective of whether the much-needed grey matter


Perseverance, discipline and or endurance


Are there or not


Is something sad to watch.



Fly by night Colleges and Universities


Springing up at every street corner 


Is fuelling the frenzy


Making everyone wants to hold on to something


Whether the capacity is there or not.


Instead, engage the society in a useful manner


Not always endorsing everything


Encourage intellectual rivalry


Stop following trends


And be different.



Ones who seek this path


May end up sans a hood or a cloak


Few photographs to adorn the walls


At the end of the day.



But when the push comes to shove


Sharpness earned in such a manner


Will hold their ground better


Than the ones bought cheap 


On street corners.
