Caught In A Box

The creative mind wiggles with ease as Einstein theories are given birth to every day, every second.

A new way, a new style, a newer discovery in a while!

And then, you reach to what they call the “abode of knowledge”.

Teachers teach, train and open up different spheres of life. Everyday turns into a realization of what surrounds you.

You think and you want to know. You read and you want to grow.

This knowledge that has no end, no boundaries, no tag of “conditions apply”.

You read and store. You even apply. You feel elated, you touch the sky.

Then, you read more but read what your teacher asked you at school. You heed to parents and confine yourself to syllabus and rules.

It sucks you on and on. You lose your urge to think beyond.

You please teachers, you soar heights, you gain marks, you win prize.

The machine thinks what it is taught to, you don’t condemn. The wings shed, you think like all of them.

And when the chain locks, that’s when you know you’ve trapped yourself inside the box.
