ARTS STREAM IS NOT A DUSTBIN
Mayborn Lyngdoh R
Arts Stream is the noblest of streams,
Welcoming all students, not just the cream.
Arts bring hope, a vision to the hopeless.
Never condescending, unlike the rest.
Sometimes I ask, I can’t guess –
Why are the Science and Commerce so ruthless?
They discard weak students and treat them like trash
“Go to Arts”, an entrepreneurial doctor’s dreams turn to ash.
Let’s face the facts and reality,
Yes, “It’s not everybody’s cup of tea”.
But who are we to judge a student’s credibility,
Have patience with their sincerity to etch a story.
They say, “Good things take time”,
Don’t flush them out during trying times.
“Rome was not built in a day”
Different seasons prepare different hay.
Dear Arts Stream, you noble defender.
Bringing hope and direction to rudderless wanderers.
Sheltered with love, moulded with care.
Lovies! Do not despair, we are there to prepare.
Arts Stream frowns on derivatives to obstinate,
Reshaping lives contorted by Pontius Pilate.
When even Barnabas was given a second chance,
Prospective living files deserve another dance.
