An organ auction, d’ best option

My spends I did curtail

each rupee, I tried to save

from market, 

metro, temple or hotel

 

Put in a piggy bank,

for use in compelling condition

but instantly it got looted

in form of fat fees

by d’ school administration

Private school owners

skilled pickpockets

in no time can rub,

d’ hard earned money

of aspiring parents

"Don’t be too concerned

about your pocket,

a little, it might pinch

but it’s for fair education,

imparted to your kids"

 Banks collect interest,

mingled with charges hidden

Schools ask for hefty fees,

in a similar fashion

In a famed school, my kid,

I dreamt to educate

found a balance hanging,

in front of d' school gate

"Come, weigh your kid

with currency notes,

to pay for his admission

Right school of top repute,

for primary education"

Worryingly I agreed,

what all they told, I did

It's beyond belief,

with all humiliation,

admitted him,

in d' august institution

At d' outset, virtually upset

I scuffled, admission done

finally a sigh of relief,

at last I’ve won

After a month, got message,

classes to begin 3 days later

hurry,

buy books, ties, shoes, socks,

copies, uniforms, pencil, eraser

  The Id card, school belt,

 also his school badge

all mandatory stuffs,

u need to purchase

Items for monthly projects,

do buy from d' market

It’s obligatory, no option

to make d’ child,

 stand on its own

Next d’ cultural functions,

must pay then, for participation

At d’ end of the year,

deposit ought to be done

for kindergarten convocation

My gloating chest shrunk, 

to learn varied fees collection

compromised all comforts

in double shift, job done

in streets, can try for alms

to beg is an art, yet to learn

 Last academic session,

a tight rope walk done

Shocked to hear, 

this year’s fee hike,

startled parents fell sick

Fathers’ faces unshaven,

wrinkles on forehead of moms,

body bone-skin, eyes shrunken

few mortgaged house property,

child’s education top priority

Met several other parents,

learned in a second

                               it’s hard to meet both d’ ends

In on line marketing sites,

a healthy organ, I can auction

A kidney or part of my liver,

for my kid’s quality education

 Fund paucity, crippled me,

 hinders my kid's study

mafia monopoly, can't fight ,

to forfeit an organ, I’m ready

Can’t reply my tender child,

why to back track from d' race

 decided to resolve d' issue,

 any challenge I can face

Part of my blood and flesh,

must settle his education

fetch fare price for an organ,

 to meet his fees, d’ solution
