Varied, assorted, a non-ending commodious motley
Strange bedfellows, united in their uniqueness
Backgrounds diverse, variegated as croton leaves
Yet unified towards a common goal
Camaraderie, Congeniality, Conviviality
Bonds tougher than tanned buffalo hide
Sisters, Brothers even Conjugal Bliss
This set would inevitably share.
A favoured, achieving cadre
They would be famed for their fortitude
Upright as sturdy Oaks, uncompromising, unwavering
Their collective achievements, blueprints for generations unborn
Unique in the peculiarities encountered
Yet steadfast in upholding justice and equality
The man would ‘never’ falter in them
As boldly they would speak in the face of tyranny
Strongholds -real and perceived- they would dare
Student-made demigods, principalities
Would come to shudder at their boldness
They would defy the norm to ensure the ‘just’.
Their versatility would belie their creativity
IT consultants, financial Czars, literary icons
Graphic designers, Activist leaders, Medical illuminati
Her quiver rich with arrows coveted by the best of archers
Some of her sons she would loose
Yes, to the final enemy death
But her quiver would remain rich, overflowing with goodness from her standing sons
Memories of the fallen, everlasting
To the YBC’ 09 set
We could never have been more blessed
“LIVE THE DREAM”
