Poetry 2017 Longlist Jayesh Kumawat

Our Present

Time is running,
Age is walking,
Knowledge is sitting,
But we are sleeping.

Competitions are harder,
Studies are faster,
Books are wider,
But life is shorter.

Friends were less,
Enemies are more,
Life is rare,
But who cares?

Family is small,
Love is no more,
Economy is increasing,
But humanity is decreasing.

Hobbies are many,
No perfection in any,
Sports are there,
But fitness is rare.

Art is modern,
Music is rock,
Teachers are classic,
But studies blow.

Dreams are high,
Loyalty always lies,
Stress is there,
That’s why people die.

Homework is hard,
Classwork is fast,
Course is vast,
But the result is last.
