Examinations!

 A jagged, rugged, craggy pass

That was what an exam used be 

Once upon a time

Long, long, very long ago.

Myths it would make 

Out of ordinary disciples.

Their travails bursting at seams

Their chronicles filling reams!

Now 

Exams are a dry river bed

after a severe draught

lasting a parched decade

Excavate though a little!

Underneath could be civilisations 

of cultured critiques

rooting themselves in

streams unseen 

of intuitions unknown

where float visions

of futures exotic uncertain

that let us anew begin!
