Two English Poems

1- Formal Education so pointless
In chemistry
I learnt how from Le Chatelier’s Principle,
products can be predicted,
When equilibrium,
Balance is disturbed,
But I have yet to see,
How I can use that in real life:
So formal school education,
seem to be so pointless to me.
In English
I learnt how to talk about relationships,
and how to say,
My physical and mental chemistry,
Matches with his physical and mental chemistry,
I learnt how to say,
My personality,
Is compatible with his personality,
I learnt how to say,
My interests
Are compatible with his interests,
But I have yet to see
How I can use that in real life:
So formal school education,
seem to be so pointless to me.
And I can say with certainty,
With knowledge of English-Chemistry,
I have not yet equipped,
My self with an essential skill:
A skill; needed for my survival ,
I have not yet learned,
How to make people around,
Love and respect me,
So all my education –formal,
Seems pointless to me.
2- Tension Mension
If you are appointed, after 2004 in Govt job,
Govt willn’t give you any pension ,
Never feel bad ,if you donot get benefit of pension,
As that feeling will give you tension,
To your buddies,Please don’t mention,
If you wish to attend conference – international,
You may have to make a trip to a foreign nation,
You have applied for duty leave to be sanctioned,
Unfortunately your application faced boss’ rejection,
You will have feeling of tension,
It may create in you feeling of dejection
It is better that you don’t mention.
If your application is in queue for promotion,
But you are doubtful you may not get promotion
Please go out for a dream destination,
Rather than finding yourself getting a dejection,
That may increase your graph of tension,
But even if you still have any tension,
Please don’t mention.
If you are attending friends success party,
Then go ahead & give him a hug with congratulation,
Never feel jealous as you may ,
steam-up your own tension,
even if you still may have partial tension,
Please don’t mention.
