A runner which gets the Medal even before participating in the race
With a hazardous stick which threatens of dire consequences
And a gift box of political donations which lures those in power
Eager to establish hegemony over educational landscape for ever
Aiming to monopolize every sphere of social and economic life
For shaping the minds that serve the powers that be
Willing to be in the forefront of commercialization of social services
Hand in hand for establishing Ambani / Adani Raj with Hindu Raj
State in connivance with corporate tycoons
Putting education up for sale
Establishing systems for swallowing by corporate whales
To create a new generation glorifying about new corporate tales
