SPARKS OF IMAGINATION

CREATIVE CORNER

Fluttering of’ several wings were

heard,

Left in the open were hundreds of

doves,

Up high in the sky, flew the

messengers of peace,

Little did they know, that after their

release,

The contesting teams in the stadium

were at war,

Lost discipline, each team just

wanted to win, or

They would hurt the rival.

The recreational game became a

battle. Where are we going to with

this attitude?

Be it a sport, that needs

competitiveness and sportsmanship,

Be it an international endeavor,

that needs cooperative leadership,

Be it a personal desire,

To achieve something, may be an

attire.

We need peace first, in our minds,

which in turn will drive,

The peace in our environment and

all of us will survive and thrive.
