The Exodus Poem

Based on KST member's overwhelming support, I have completed the sequel for The Exodus Poem. This is the complete poem :

THE EXODUS POEM

I ( For weaker students)
I work like mad,
And study my subjects,
But look what I had,
Not all my effort reflects.

The world is harsh,
Now that I know,
Everyone's in a rush,
No one must stay slow.

I got something good,
But it is never enough,
So I was left to brood,
Into depression's craft.

The winner takes it all,
The losers standing small,
The nation don't recall,
There are others trapped in this all.

As I was down,
My spirit was broken,
God came around,
And tell me this is relevant.

For victory is after loss,
No one can deny,
I should not be cross,
Or God's blessing will fly.

I received a mission,
Something burning strong,
To attack with provision,
So that I won't go wrong.

Now it's getting hard,
To accept the brutal truth,
But I have to be smart,
To show them the proof.

I have to stay low,
Although I do not want to do so,
However, as the future is unfold,
All blessings I will know.

II (For students like me, not good, not bad)

Many are worse than me,
They are not SPM-inclined,
But the future is not gloomy,
Because hope shall they find.

When I got my results,
8A1 and 3A2,
No one insults,
Because to them it’s good.

I was happy beyond description,
Treating all my friends happily,
But I know not the competition,
And applied around innocently.

Cleverer students just relax,
Weaker students just prepare,
I did not accept the facts,
And applied here and there.

The time comes for results,
I failed one by one,
But my cries and shouts,
Seem to reach no one.

Therefore be wise my friends,
Be aware of the battlefield,
Do something that makes sense,
And happiness you will yield.

III (For great students)

I salute your excellence,
Your greatness in studies,
But do not worship the presents,
Or the appealing publicities.

Look into the future,
And prepare with your weapon,
It will be full of adventure,
As anything can happen.

You may end up in INTEC,
Or any other colleges,
But what’s important is the fact,
It promises endless challenges!

You know better than me,
What you will face,
But I hope you can see,
And be merciful in the race.

For achievements wear off fast,
But good deeds last long,
Therefore we have to blast,
Whatever that is wrong.

I wish you all the best,
As you begin this journey,
If you can’t beat the rest,
Just remind yourself about me!

IV (Epilogue)

I am not writing this,
Because I am diffident,
I am writing this,
Because I am different.
