My grunts : My First Poem :)


It was bright,was green,it was butterflies everywhere,
In the land of my dreams..
Engineering was tough..eventually it became a part of life...
Learned a lot...ignored more than a lot...
Liked mechanics more.....
Computers were my life.

But marks went for mug ups..
I didnt care..I went on my way...
The lecturers marked me away...

Still I survived..still I persisted..
Waiting for those green pastures...
Where code runs through my head...
Where I see language of the machines..everywhere I look,everywhere I go
Dreamt to be the Neo of the real world..

Finally I am in my land..
The grass is dry...
The tree's fruits are bitter..
But they look beautiful.

I ploughed a lot...
My landlord is a landlady :)
Never satisfied..never smiles..
She sows seeds on rocks..
Never cares for her animals..

I am thin,im hungry,im thirsty..
I plough more than half of my day..
Still I get no water,no grass..only whips..

Finally..the time has come..
To move on..to leave the dry grass behind..
To correct a mistake,I have made..
I was ignorant..just a college kid..


Now I know..Where I stand..
Where I belong..
Just like LinkinPark says..
A place for my head..
Somewhere I belong..
I tried so hard..but I didnt get far..
In the end..it doesn't even matter.
