Lodestar* Ray
Life is a journey, people and places meandering to the soul’s destiny,
What good is the adventure, without a navigator to secure your legacy?
Education, a mighty tool, the pinnacle to the veiled success story,
Quality follows, unable to resist the steppingstone to greater glory,
In the land of lush valleys, a time not different from our own,
Uncaring of challenges Cruel Fate sets in the unknown,
A daring, young soul first graces his home, yearning for wonder and wisdom,
Barely seven, in the village school, the epitome of a failing education system,
Acceptance of failure was rather freeing, divulging the opportunity of a revolution,
“No Rote Learning!” he vowed, a mere boy of fifteen, searching for learnings’ new resolution,
Remaking reality through concepts, productivity, sustainability and contribution, challenging every trope,
Intent to change a society set in stone – Never renouncing his undying hope,
‘Progress over Perfection,” his motto, weighing every decision with this immortal precedent,
An outlier shunned for fear of development, now the country’s greatest resident,
New ways, vocational paths, success stories for every child to dream, to desire,
With the vow of together, qualitative regrowth, lighting insurgent fires,
He changed the world, that very moment of making a difference,
Choosing his words with care, quality in every emotive sentence,
Speaking of newfound prosperity, eradicating ignorance and poverty,
Education, his guiding light, innovation and quality, his novelty,
Returning to where his journey began, his mission statement writ in stone,
“Quality is not accidental, ‘tis the result of educated effort, accomplished never alone,
Not an ever-fixed mark or universal standard, but responsibility that grows each day,
Education highlights your path, should you choose to be the new Lodestar Ray. “
* A Lodestar is a star that is used to guide the course of a ship, especially the Pole Star.
