Advanced Level

ADVANCED LEVELS

Advanced Level, now I smile

when I read it. No special

reason, no special person. So many

memories now I miss. For

those two and a half years,

summed up Happiness!

Sure studies weren’t a treat.

All sorts of hardships added

with Exams! Yet now I only see

laughter!

Early morning walk to school, sneaking

from the school, bunking classes, permission

to take electronics, free access to school Wi-Fi,

movies in IT lab, interval whenever wanted,

roaming around the ground with friends,

oh! Those swings!

All liberty because of Advanced Level.

Whatever felt annoying then has become a

sweet memory now. Torturing tuitions from

dawn to dusk, bragging tutors yearning for fame,

unasked bodyguards with a love of their own

and best of all the morning assembly

with a boring Principal!

So many things I learnt about myself.

A lot of accomplishments

I made all by myself. A name

for me, records for my city.

Kingdom built for me, all by me.

At times we felt, that we

Wouldn’t make it!

Yet we never stopped trying. That

Taught, hard work never dies!

We wanted to fly, to succeed, to

be free and stand on our own feet.

We dreamt of a place on earth. Thus, a

surrounding of handpicked people

we created in Advanced Level.

And then maturity bloomed.

We became of age! Literally

this time. Adults we are now.

The shoulders that were ready

to hold the world, now couldn’t even

shoulder its own burdens!

Fear of future dawns when

The reality of the life burns.

Dilemma of dreams

Dilemma of dreams

Are dreams a way of confusion

Or a path for God’s confession?

Do they really mean something?

Or just some gibber to be forgotten?

Meanings of dreams,

Interpretations of messages,

Words from the Almighty,

Jokes of Satan,

Oh! So frustrating!

What is the real notion of a dream?

Science calls it subconscious mind

Whilst religion says it

To be a revelation of the Almighty

Or jibe of Satan.

Internet extracted.

Researches done.

Hypothesis taken. Yet

The conclusion remains

Undelivered!

Insanity due to the memory

Dilemma about the next step

And still the question remains

Is it a confession or confusion?

Is it from the sense or pure nonsense?

Words to an imposter

Words to an imposter

Coward,

The positive outcome

Of pointing out normality

To a society that

Only sees abnormality

Is none.

Comprehending the motive

Of your action

Seems an impossibility.

And judgement only portrays,

The Chauvinism

Hidden

To diminish the voice.

To belittle the behavior.

To shun the reputation.

To destroy the name.

But then if, creating problems

Is your way of solving others.

You are one GENIES.

Know this idiot, if

Your chauvinism reeks

This much, the vacuum

To the stench of it isn’t far !

Inacceptance

In acceptance

People preach propriety,

Enormously expect elegance,

Want to be mesmerized by beauty,

Search for stunning stuff!

Do they ever realize that

Propriety couldn’t be preached?

Do they ever comprehend that

Elegance is about comfort?

Do they even know that beauty is

A choice of the heart not eyes?

Do anyone for once think

Though it glistens

Lustre fades. Yet

Antique lasts long though

Not in the best of shapes?

Naturalization is no more!

Artificiality is embedded in our minds

That purity is jilted.

For the Glamorous impurity accepted!
