RESPONSIBILITY 

It’s a weight that we all shoulder with a choice 

A burden we all must carry, murmurs a noble voice 

Irrespective of choice we all must abide 

For every single step we take is accountable with pride. 

Self discipline bears the key to guide us, day by day 

Truth and dependability, we stand tall in every way 

Through life’s thralls it’s a moral compass 

To recognise right, preventing wrong’s fatal collapse. 

  

In community fabric, we weave our part 

Environmental stewardship, the role with a delicate heart,

All family liaison, we nurture with affection and care 

Supporting our kith and kin, through joy and labour. 

Proficiency shines, with ethics aligned 

Mantle of leadership, we wear with protection designed 

Organisational Integrity and citizenship, beyond measure 

Collaboration and teamwork, we show and share. 

Voting, law-abiding, we aim community’s gain 

Voice of advocacy, for justice we retain 

Sustaining human rights,dignity and equality, join hand in hand 

Social Justice, limited individual freedom, we strive firm in stand. 

Budgets, savings,investments, we always wisely keep 

Ethos in philanthropy, the donjon of social ethics we generously sustain and reap 

Debt management, not a prerogative concept but a fundamental freedom’s call 

To secure the future generations, for one and all. 

Natural resources, a severe concern we conserve with might,

Sustainable living, obligatory commitment for a brighter light,

Changing Climate, not to procrastinate, an exigency to act in an urgent pace, 

To preserve nature, in all its pristine sacred space. 

Free will, freedom of all estates , we recognise and own,

Consequential thinking, before we have sown,

Virtues ethics and rules to guide, our characters mold,

Existential choices, a brighter future to unfold. 

Together we rise, or together we fall, 

Synergistic accountability, for one and all,

For the robustness of community, in unity we stand,

Supporting each other, always hand in hand. 

For future generations, we must pave the way,

Considering consequences and repercussions, night and day,

Legacy’s weight, we should carry with care,

To build world, beyond compare. 

Young generations, stick to their goal,

Veering never, falling victims to trivial,

Remain focused, deviation ends in failure, 

Master a skill, making life strongly tethered,

Procure a livelihood, not much like a herd. 

Through life’s journey, responsibility’s creed,

Guide and drive us forward, with heart and deed,

Embracing accountabilities noble call,

We can always rise to the challenge, standing tall. 

George.
