FOR MANKIND, OUR LIVES


Great of greats, who ever lived,
Were by lord to mankind gived.
Reforming thy from living in sorrow,
They bit by bit made thy’s tomorrow.

Born and brought up, not truly in your highnesses palace,
But in the lands which were truly fruitless.
Facing atrocities in their partial life,
They made their future on the edge of knife.

They were ever seen in the scholars of merit,
They had enthusiasm, they had spirit.
When there was a crisis of, “every man for himself”,
They dedicated their lives to save thyself.

When the faulty leaders played their evil game,
They made thy realize, “what’s thy’s actual aim”.
Quoth they, “thy is fallowing whose voice in advise?
Just like the bagpiper had to the lake droved the cities mice”.

They made thy realize what’s thy’s mistake,
And also showed thy non-violent path to take.
They gave their life for thy’s sake,
Just the thought, “thy’s future to make”.

Due to their noble deeds they became immortal,
In the hearts of us creatures ‘mortal’.
Will these great ever again be seen?
Show they would, when the water would go across its seam.
