Higher by Greed

So... after a painful day of trying to study for a midterm, reading Shilpa's blog gave me the spark to procreate something (Now now.. not that way.. more on literary terms)

So as i am quite unable to produce anything original with my own hands, i sat and wrote this...

To Creed: Forgive me for this...



Higher by Greed


while dreaming, i study for another test,
time and time again
at sunrise, i fight to stay awake,
cause I dont want to leave the grade less than an A
cause there's a hunger, a longing to just scrape,
with only a B in the test i take

so lets go there,
lets make our best scrape,
cmon lets go there,
lets ask can i get an A?


can you take me higher,
to the test which is dumb as i see
can you take me higher,
to the place with alternate seats

although i would like our course to change,
it helps me appreciate,
those nights and those dreams,
but my friend, why do i sacrifice the nights?
if i could just make mine and somone's papers the same
the only difference is,
to let my words replace all of his

so lets go there,
lets make our best scrape,
cmon lets go there,
lets ask can i get an A?

up high i feel like i've passed just this one time
up high i'm smart enough to take someones test
and make it mine





Thanks to Shilpa for inspiring this.. and thanks to Santya for being the smartass he is and telling me to put an 'an' before the A in order to be grammatically correct !

Ass! It fits the tune much better with that "AN"...
An "AN" can change your poem.... :P
