COMPULSION
Thoughts myriad sweep provoke,
Floored an unruly heart, life
to revoke,
Witness mind plays naughty
link,
Blows the candle lighted
rethink, (1)
Ushers darkness imagination
lit,
Freedoms follow dreaming
delight,
Fascinate object allures intoxicate,
Whispers emotions communicate,
(2)
Aspiration endless suffocate
wild,
Reminds memory, illusions mild,
Blue planet crimson skies
invite,
Asset grab quickly lifelong
excite, (3)
Study more burns midnight lamp,
Career prostrates before
revamp,
Like doctors, serve people, a
surgeon,
Save life runs knife is a
profession, (4)
Amused grateful eyes
speechless,
Hands folded tears, lives
impress,
Revamp the idea, life of an
engineer,
T square drawing board act
peer, (5)
The pencil-drawn picture of a tower,
Tomorrow to stands sky
scrapper,
A million lives work here
day-night,
Unknown the engineer drew
right, (6)
Stood the towering glory of
decades,
He built bridges, dam
barricades,
Immortal the pencil paper
divider,
Engineer life imaginative
provider, (7)
Cancel spirit decide to be a
pleader,
Fight in court bend laws
bewilder,
Win culprit owes innocent
crowd,
Lo black gown devil's wizard
loud, (viii)
Scratch everything allures a
pilot,
Learn flying planes, the world
is pivot,
Watch the ocean and continent
below,
Gadgets of colored lights in a
hallow,(9)
Guide the plane carry
passengers,
Night sky star-studded with
dangers,
Safely pilot to a destination
in time,
Fulfillment of dream, life is
divine, (10)
Students and the teacher
interacted,
Passed students the school
indicated,
A thousand avenues hope to
awaken,
Hugged all tearfully my
children, (11)
Not student loved from my
heart,
Build spirits burn candle
impact,
Face my country, youth
depending,
Askance deep hurt chain
breaking, (12)
Lead the sacred land in front,
hail,
Clean life uncorrupt dare to
assail,
There my children bring
prosperity,
Usher the golden era skills
reality, (13)
Stood silently, students leave
school,
Compulsion human heart time
fool,
Who struggles, grabs
opportunities,
Time acts as luck, fate
possibilities, (14)
A mere teacher I looked, my
palm,
Compulsion, tendered buds,
calm,
Life single, mine no family,
chosen,
Lighted candles, many lives
frozen. (15)
