RESERVATION

Reservation  - such an ominous word,

Cuts the Talent's throat without a sword. 

Write your name and your caste, 

You are sure to be an outcast.

O God ! Please save my Country.

Reservation in admission, IIT or MBA,

Read hard, yet you can't be a CS or CA,

The midnight oil burnt in vain,

To crack the CS Prelims or Main.

O God ! Please save my Country.

The most surprising thing you heard, 

Like the story of a coward, 

Reservation in MBBS? Can't help lose your trust,

Your life is only in the hands of God. 

O God  ! Please save my Country.

Jobs through Public Service Commission, 

It's all a matter of top Reservation, 

Talent on road and fixing in chair, 

May God keep the youths out of despair !

O God  ! Please save my Country.

May light dispel the darkness !

May hope prevail over despair !

May this evil system be abolished !

May Talent shine over the unpolished !

Only then, can I say, "Thanks God ! Thanks a lot !"
