We Must – Rakshak Sridhar, Grade 8
We must hail mother and father, leaders of our lives
Without them the world is full of lies.
We must know they are powerful like the mighty Hanuman.
Don’t insult them or you’ll get no naan.
We must be aware of mother; she is the leader of the pack.
Don’t fail her or you’ll get sacked.
We must be aware that father is the strongest of all.
Don’t stop listening – you’ll run into a wall.
We must hail our Swamiji and our Gods.
Without their teachings, we’ll be selling hot dogs.
We must agree that we learned a few teachings
Don’t give up or you’ll get beatings.
