Result

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!
