A prisoner By R.Krishnamurthy

Why do you jump on a bandwagon
What is the hurry to stand in a line
Why do you behave like a sheep
Why can’t you your own counsel keep

Why do you study a course for a job
Why do you want to be part of a mob
Why do you follow someone as if you are blind
Why don’t you apply your own mind

Why do you want to join the best college
Behind it’s best there is someone’s effort
Why do you want to eat a fallen fruit
Why don’t you sow a seed with courage

Why do you want to settle in life early
Marriage is on your mind surely
You want to buy an apartment and a car
You forget that you are turning a prisoner.
