BUT WHEN IT IS OVER

BUT WHEN IT IS OVER

At the very start, everything inspires
As if sparks have ignited many fires
And the prospect of dreaming spires
Learning is more than contemplation
Beginning a new chapter of education
But when it is over, it’s still never done

Status that privelege no longer acquires
Those who’d said that it did, were liars
Leaving behind failure in funeral pyres
So wave goodbye to all that immolation
Pursuit of study requires determination
But when it is over, it’s still never done

One can hear the messages in the wires
But not any sound like heavenly choirs
As the career focus is on strategic hires
Moving on from all superficial adulation
Intelligence is acquiring key information
But when it is over, it’s still never done
