THE   JOY  OF  SUCCESS  ( a  motivational   poem  for  Grade 12  students )      Success   is  a  peak,      It   towers  as  a  challenge,      It   seems  insurmountable,      There's no path  leading  there,      You  cut  your own  path,      Through an unknown, unexplored  territory,      Removing  sharp, painful  thorns,      And  falling into treacherous  pits,       Sweating  and  panting,       Yet  you climb on, higher  and higher,       Bit  by bit, by  trial  and error.       At  times  you feel,       "  No more of this, it's time  to give up,''       But  you  carry on, with  a resolve,       Tougher  than  steel,       Have a  plan, have map,       Lest  you get lost in the wilderness.       Ask  for help, help from God,       From  teachers, parents  and  well-wishers.       On  top of the peak,        Unfurl  the  flag,        The flag  of  victory,        The  flag of  hard  labour,         Heave  a deep  sigh,

WAR   IS  USELESS War  is  useless, war  is  worthless, War  divides  people, it destroys, It  destroys  lives, cities  and towns, It  downs  airplanes, showers  bombs, On  children ,women and the elderly, War  triggers  rivers of  blood,   And  causes pain, endless  pain, War ends in no gain. War  against wars, to stop all wars, War  against man's cruelty  and  stupidity.
