Competition.. A race to be ahead of others can take a toll over kids/teenagers who start feeling that their elders who pester them to study are actually their enemies.. No late-night parties, no clubbing, no friends, no late-night chats but excellent percentages; that's what many parents want of their children.. This poem is dedicated to all kids/children who feel that their life is unreasonably controlled by their parents/ elders..
My life operates with a remote control,
Press a button & I'll grow cold;
Press another, I'll speak,
Slap me hard, I'll squeak.
Ask me to talk, I'll open my mouth,
When the need's over, I'll go to my couch;
Ask me to lie down, I'll obey,
I'll fold my hands, make you God & pray.
You shout, You bark, You kick,
You scream, I won't give a shit;
I'll watch all you do without retaliating,
After all, I'm not a human being.
My life operates with a remote control,

I agree with you, parents should teach us how to survive and other better things than making us study all the time. I am not saying studying wont help but we need to have fun too. :)
Lucid expressions here.. Explosive thoughts - brilliantly penned.. keep rollin'
After all, I'm not a human being...
really this issue has reached heights these days...need to have solution on this..
maybe you would like to check my post on the same..
Simple and straight to the point. 'Gandhigiri' is quite evident here. It actually works. Because it can produce worst state of mind- guilt in the inflictor of pain.
Though, I personally felt that the reality isn’t that bad. It may be true for 1 in 10 families. That’s definitely not a number to be ignored, but in the end, I felt that this one depicted an extreme case. At one point, I felt you were talking about yourself.
Even if I am not true, I support the thought of writing it out!
