                                                    The GRACEFUL ballerinas 

                                              spinning, leaping, and twirling,

                                             while the FLAWLESS musicians 

                                  singing their first tunes while drumming.


                                                 The STRETCHY acrobats 

                                                  that can walk on wires,

                                         juggle balls while holding a cat.


                                           The IMAGINATIVE artisans 

                                               that decorated caves,

                              describing the life of ancient humans.


                                The women who had the COURAGE,

                                             to fight for education, 

                                      protesting with all her heart,

                                     not afraid of ASSASSINATION.


                             These people were INSPIRATIONS,

                             to the world for many generations,

                             but many were still UNCONVINCED,

                             to let the world know their dreams.


                                    Thousands still remain IDLE,

                             as modern technology is getting VIRAL,

                             misusing such worthy inventions like 

                              Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter,

                                   shrinking the world's brain,

                                      to the size of a CRITTER.


                         Our TRUE COLOURS had faded away,

     and our BOXES OF TALENT has become hidden and gray.
