A long date sheet to reckon
Examination centers too many
Spread all over the country
The candidates go not to sit for exam
But are marked there by public in secret
And their fate stands sealed for a time in machines
When exams are all over
And the tally begins
Who passes or tanks
It is there for all to see
And then they rule over us
Whom we help to win
Exams come once in five years
And we who are eligible
Are allotted one mark each
That's all we are worth if any
In this mammoth exercise
Of a vibrant democracy
It is all worth its while
Each mark counts
And makes or mars
One's destiny and profile
Public and elected both ride the bandwagon
The spectacle, that is the result, of the use of our democratic right!
The spectacle, that is the result, of the use of our democratic right!
