School Creed by Urvashi Sareen, Class IX, Army Public School, Gangtok. Another fine morning, she stood on the terrace, watching golden sunrays and beautiful mountains caress, her mind under stress, democracy under duress, corruption, swindlers , scamsters, taking her country for a ride, poor honest PM Mr Singh, looking tense, she vowed and consecrated, to enlighten the old man, in school she broached the topic with her peers, and sent a signature campaign as missive to Mr Singh, about the truth, honesty, integrity, & values her school preached (School Creed), Another fine morning, She saw Mr Singh on TV, Owning up responsibility & accountability for the misdeed, She knew her missive has woken his school creed, And he has vowed to breed the creed, waking up the conscious of billions, she looked in the mirror, her smile telling her, it is the school creed, that would save in the hour of need. ………………………………………………………… Urvashi Sareen The poem is set in the years 2010-11 when the Prime Minister of poetess’s country was facing the challenge of defending his honest reputation.
