Integrity

By George P. Lumayag

Spending oftentimes with friends at the campus
There the lives of young minds may stay
And always stay with literacy and numeracy
That they share words and unveil the truth.

Learning things with the help of their facilitators and friends
An activity for collaboration, the mentor says
A half-baked output can even show an accomplishment
And the conscious adolescents may act with honesty.

Sketching colored shapes in line with black and white,
As they end up assigned tasks-moving from left to right,
And the sightless pens claim of such hypothesis and metaphor,
Might lead them to wit all these and claim pretty lies.

Asking question on how do young minds learn
That they might comprehend deception and nod nude acceptance,
What the school needs are students with genuine hearts,
And do things right then, dwell a life with integrity.
