EXAM WARS

Coming to the hall
Seeing the paper
taking the pen
Our men are ready here

The bell shouts so,
The teachers signal go,
And then all start to fire
In the war of theirs!

They write on the paper
which is their enemy
The pen is the only gun
Firing inks, while the mind is thinking.

And they just say,
time and Tide waits for none,
But I guess even they would pity and wait,
If they saw the rush of some.

But there is nothing to do,
Time takes paper's side
Sweat drops from serious warriors
Others keep their feelings to hide

In some cases, the guns run off ammo,
They either change guns, or ink magazines,
But doing so, time gets upper hand,
And witty students change their stratigies.

Finding way through the questions,
Jumping from paragraphs,
Crossing MCQ Minefields,
Still they cant easily get past.

Some soldiers take help from others,
most exchange their stratigies, others steal it,
Then the teacher comes near with a red gun,
Soldiers retreat the cheating stratigy!

At the end, time is totally finished up,
Some let the paper spare, others totally vanquish it,
All the soldiers, tired after completing,
Pass or fail, they are happy, because they did it!
