Teach not languages;
Teach not sciences;
Teach not the arts and crafts.
Teach them instead to question and learn;
And, in them, let the passion burn.
Then nurture that passion at every turn...
Lets develop in them the yearn to learn!
...And let that learning be fearless and bold;
To dig out the stories as yet untold,
To celebrate the traditions and cultures old,
To enable and watch a vision unfold!
... Learning seeped in human values,
For grounded views and ethical news!
... Learning that nurtures creativity,
To ideate and innovate, yet maintain humility!
... Learning that ignites the spark,
That inspires others out of the dark!
...And let that learning a generation breed,
That breaks the barriers of gender, age and creed!
... Learning that does not exclude any,
In reaching out and touching the lives of many!
The future is ours, lets pave the way.
A 'yearning for learning' may yet save the day!
