By Ajay Krishnan
A problem that is perennial
With no solution in a vial
Every student, no matter how irked
Is predisposed to homework
Throw yourself into this muddle
Without any team huddle
Relinquish civility, unleash the savage
No more soul to salvage
All types of homework, always hated
Even by students not opinionated
How to efface, this problema
How to get rid of, this dilemma
Looking through your bag of debris
With no joy or glee
Something to admonish
Know when to finish
Deadlock with your brain and hands
And get into a working stance
Begin this cumbersome task
That you never asked
Circumspect, your grade depends on this
What the system expects
They commandeer your soul
It takes a toll
For any breach
A detention in reach
Spasmodic
The load is erratic
Anything you say, no matter how furious
Is declared spurious
You cannot refuse
No matter how diffuse
Ambition unbridled
Stolen by the brigand
Of homework
