VOICE OF THE WANDERING YOUNG MINDS
Nothing is permanent
Change is imminent
Everyday trends are found
With expectancy unbound
Education sector is going through alteration
With reasons like updation, improvisation, transformation
Major role played is by globalization
SAP, JAWA, C, C+, C++, Oracle
Everyday some strange miracle
Job seekers face confusion
Parents get hypertension
Employers command
The course they did last semester is not in demand
Update and come
Again the face of parent and ward full of glum
Communication Skills was once the buzz word
HR was ruling like monarch and Lord
But now soft skills has become important to strike the accord
Everything was ephemeral
But for many families the loss was not temporal
The needs and skills
Wondering about them fear fills
The young and exuberant
Are left untapped to stagnate

- Comment from author about the poem: The inspiration for this poem is my profession i.e. teaching. Many a times the students are left in the lurch after spending invaluable time pursuing a course. the job market is dynamic, needs are never constant. Though i understand and appreciate change as imminent, the students hailing from economically background families suffer at the hands of fate. Ever-since the commercialization of education, it is not just the IQ or EQ which is crucial, but more predominantly the financial status of the father/parents that decides the career graph and destination of a student. May be my understanding of the situation is limited to India, because of the limited exposure. I welcome you to update me about this issue in your respective countries if you feel so. with warm regards to my honorable readers and critics.

Hello Sandhya, I think that these rapid changes in the education system are happening all over the world, It's as if the whole world is fighting itself to be and to produce the best, many good students get left behind because of this. Your poem is very good and flows beautifully, I especially like the lines:-
"Everything was ephemeral
But for many families the loss was not temporal"
9/10 Excellent.

Thanks Franklin, for reverberating the essence of my poem.
But it really pains me as a teacher when I see students for economically backward families bearing the brunt.
The poem is the result of observation and empathy and I think it appealed to you my honorable reader.
thanks
