Rebel Without A Cause

(Genre: I suck at poetry)

Its August 13, 2 a.m. and no electricity. Imagine the frustration build up. Slowly it reaches a threshold where it has to explode and take some form on paper. I started out writing a bad poem and ended with a bad rock song. Here goes:

REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE

Your Education System is much too loose,
Whatever you learnt, you hardly use
I wonder why they teach you calculus,
Use it or not, but learn you must
Follow the system, don't question the flaws,
You are a rebel without a cause

The corporate world is no better,
Bad practices called policy are trendsetter
Over educated mediocres make tall claim,
Failiure always has someone else to blame
Out of this rat race, you want to take a pause,
You are a rebel without a cause

Cars behind you honk, if you stop at Red Light
Your friends call you a fool, if this happens late at night
For you to litter, entire city is a dustbin,
You don't need a spittoon on road to spit in
I wonder should you follow the laws,
You are a rebel without a cause

In government you dont believe,
Bunch of crooks trying to deceive
Luckily for you, just one scandal this year,
Although caught, your MP has no fear
Corruption is not new, here it always was,
You are a rebel without a cause

God begins where knowledge ends,
Its just a name given to ignorance
Blind belief,all logic defied,
In His name so many have died
In God your faith is lost,
You are a rebel without a cause

Everywhere I see, so much to despise,
I can find sorrow in different guise
Whatever they tell me, I have reservations,
I am a part of enlightened generation
And I go on as I always was,
Am I a rebel without a cause?

The company where I rested,
was the one,with whom, a lot had invested,
My work went for a toss,
The investors were a rebel WITHout(!!) a cause.

I hope power cuts in the middle of night frequently happen in future also so that we, the junta, get to hear some really rocking rock :-D
