A student pleading his parent to take him away from the hostel
By Maveriku
O Father! Take me away from here
before it happens what i fear.
The beds are uneasy, and they squeak
and the sounds everywhere disturb my sleep.
The nights are hot and nightmares are more,
Each morning I end up on the floor.
O father! Take me away from here.
Before it happens what I fear.
Here we need to be tough and strong,
only then here we belong
Here I am timid and meek,
on to be counted among the blind and meek.
O father! Take me away from here
before it happens what I fear.
No one here is an ally,
only foes, competition and tally.
Scores, badges count
however for me only woes mount.
O father! Take me away from here
before it happens what I fear.
Why am I the only of your son
whose achievements are exactly none.
Why did you join me here
When you could have kept me near
O Father! Take me away from here
before it happens what I fear.
