Universities pledge to create an example Of truthfulness and Ample honesty ; For high morals and Ever to flourish With manifested statements Of their dignity. But a university With its standard unrefined Full with defection and Ennoble deeds Lacking incumbent and worthiness And the reverence That apt to be with Fruitful seeds. These magnificent facade, Great columns and, Capacious chambers, Claiming the beauty, Grace and lasting charm; Slowly they will fade In the shadows of melting time For you would entailed penance, Eruption and harm. Remember ! Many schools I have within me. And when my wisdom diffuses In the presence of a helpless blind He gets no eyes, But insight to see For I represent Schools that are hard to find. My words drill holes In the ears of a deaf For they are sharp with substantial truth Yet sweet with sparkles of intellect. They offer no hearing But open the sleepy mind, Rusted with ignorance Greed and profound neglect. Your claim as a school of ethic, An institute of fine art, You are shattered in the darkness Your entity is falling apart. You call yourself a university In fact you are a house of harshness. Yet ! I would live in profound peace With my mind unchanged at par Beneath this blue evening sky Where there always twinkles A bright and lonely star. I often wonder about this universe And man 's abode within it. How strange this mortal is Though lives very close, yet afar. Teach love, obeisance, and honesty, For man is worthy to attain, Self respect with immense schooling Rationalize his being and glory to retain. December 5,2002.
