Cheating is the best option
And I would never admit to myself that
“True success lies only in honest toil.”
Some may not agree but
“Studying hard will make a student pass.”
Is just a rue, and
“Studying is only a futile effort.”
So, on the day of my graduation, I could proudly declare that
Passing
Is more important than just
Learning
For the toga that I’m wearing proves that
A good student
Has always been
The one who had never failed a single subject
And it is not always true that
If you put all your efforts to it
You will absolutely make it
To my fellow scholars, I tell you this
Cheating with others
Brings better results than
Studying on your own
For it had been proven that
If you just prepare to cheat
You will be more prepared with the answers than
If you make a review of your own
A student life is a collective effort that requires teamwork
I tend to disagree that
Passing lies on one’s tedious efforts and hard work.


And this system will not deter unless we start changing our ways.

(read from the bottom startting from passing... going up ^_^)

Welcome to Pip, dear keenshot!

I highly appreciate your participating in an anti-cheating campaign!

Your poem makes the reader aware of your true intention only towards the conclusion, but no doubt it is very thought provoking and contributes to increase the awareness of this age-old problem!

Bravo!

You made me think of that German government member (a minister) who had to resign because they found out that he had copied his degree thesis... (only a small part of it actually, but still !)

Love,
Margherita

Not exactly sure the other two who commented read from the bottom up. I did. VERY ingenuous, my new friend. This takes talent, resolve and commitment, and I applaud your fine poem, which I agree with, by the way.

Smiling in appreciation of your special effort here, dear keenshot. I didn't pay enough attention to your mentioning the palindrome style the first time around.

Great work!

I don't think anyone realizes how hard that is to do...until they try it. For one or two stanzas, it's a challenge. For a full-length poem, it's amazing. I salute you....welcome.

Loved your work and thought it very clever as I first read it top to bottom and as a teacher was beginning to frown. Then read it in reverse!
