  Just a second in my life, Turned me upside down, I had no one in my life, My smile turned in to frown   A shoulder to cry on, A tear to shed with A person to share knowledge And worries with   Then came a divine angel With golden hair and wings Who helped me a lot And made me fly in the sky   She was..... My sister......My hope My hope My hope My hope My sister......My hope My hope My hope My hope     I felt lost in the darkness I had no light to guide me, I fell into depression That fateful second changed my identity   I went to my friends, They turned their backs on me I went to my cousins They all made me flee   Then came a fairy With dazzling eyes Smile on her face was a must As she had come to help the just   She was........ My sister......My hope My hope My hope My hope My sister......My hope My hope My hope My hope     I thought I saw a light But didn’t believe my eyes I thought out loud Who

  When I stepped into this world, Selfishness and Greed infected me But she Protected me from all dangers hurled She told me, “You’ll rise as the greatest, you’ll see.”   And with all her tenderness Did she take care of me And with all simpleness And morals, I rose to be the best I could be   Her magic did work on me then That of unreplaceable love Saved me from narrow- and evil-minded men Protected my innocence similar to that of a dove   Helped me rise to my full potential Supported me with full hope and faith Her love and blessings are essential She’s my mother, my whole faith  

  Who created these caste-dividing lines That so long have been lain It is not a matter of pride But just humiliation and pain   Nature did not create this discriminating lines As far as I do know Upper caste are not gem most pure And lower are not worthless dust, not so low   We all are diverse That is very much true But one thing, to control people Is the caste- dividing lines which were so long drawn   Lets come together, I pray Do not class each other Lets sing songs of joy And move to the eternal bay of life, TOGETHER   SASHINI MANIKANDAN

  A many-armed omnipotent goddess Takes an avatar to suit her people She doesn’t think high of herself, she’s too modest That doesn’t mean we consider her feeble   In the cool mountains of the west, She is invisible In the arid center of the Earth She is barely seizable   In the abundant areas of the East, She is quite active Towards the artic areas of the North She is quite passive   Like the supreme almighty She is present in every human atom She goes in and comes out In a way we can hardly fathom   Yes, she’s our beloved mother The beginning of all beginnings The protector of all beings Our WATER.    

    One drop of it Is an elixir For a dying man Even a dying plant   It can bring hope to many By the mere sight of it It never brings despair Along with it   It is valued more by the thirsty Than the quenched More by the poor Than the rich   Careless ones waste it Careful ones save it But without this elixir Life can’t sustain on mother earth   It never brings poverty, drought, or dearth To our precious mother earth   It is very much needed For without it, we will be gone forever
