THE RHYTHM OF THE BUTTERFLY Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa
Educate your child Educate your child Not for identity alone and for status and riches, But to furbish up the mind for a better person to go. Educate your child Not for your society alone where you dwell, But for the societies beyond, for a better citizen to turn. Educate your child Not to share happiness alone Among the people in your country, But among the realms beyond, for a better human to go. Hence, if you do so, Then shall I consider you as, A true man in humanity Born to barter peace in a small way for a big universe.
