Strive...I will : Independence Day Special Poem by Kriss Venugopal



Strive... I will

 

I am born to breathe the air of love

My land is a gift from heavens above

I am an Indian, being so my birthright

And I see a future for my land, bright

 

I remember the blood shed, thoughts fed

Salute the heroes, the mothers who fed

I adore the paths the fighters did tread

My heart bears them, they are never dead

 

My right to live, to speak with no dread

I have more rights, my country has said

But I have my duties too, and I have read

To do all that I can, more than what's said

 

The land of knowledge, the land of peace

Where I want the vision to be seen with ease

Gurudev's vision for my land will not cease

Striving for more, growth, wealth, and peace

 

Break down the narrow domestic walls, I will

With a religion of love, let's move uphill

I have the wings of fire spread, burning still

Strive... with all heart and soul, I will...

SDG Story Writing Contest : SDGs by Meerab Butt, Bloomfield Hall School, Pakistan

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible. Let us read what some of them have to say to us through their stories on SDGs, ponder on what they are trying to say, act accordingly and try and change our ways of life. Perhaps this is the only way we can ensure that human civilization is not wiped out of the face of this Earth .
