Adieu

It’s going to be twelve years in this school,

And everything’s happened so cool.

We’ve had our ups and downs,

We’ve had our joys and sorrows.

All fun and frolic we’ve had,

And great trips have made us glad,

great time we’ve spent.

Help we’ve always lent,

In moments of happiness, we’ve had fun together,

In moments of distress, we’ve even shed tears together.

Now our hearts will have to be made of steel,

Since lonely we’all feel.

And now we all are in tears,

cause we’ll have to leave our dears.

Years passed on so quick,

We just had our eyes blinked,

Its now time to say adieu,

While going, we all are in a queue.

Special memories we’ve had,

We’ll really miss these moments.

But there’s one thing we can be sure of,

In life we’ll always try,

To let the school banner,

Fly high.

To all my friends and companions, it’s bye.

To all my teachers it’s bye.

We’ll have to cry,

We’ll have to separate,

But, we’ll surely meet again.

And have our joys regained,

Then one day we’ll fly so high,

We’ll touch the sky,

And be the stars shining forever.

Why do you keep hiding bin Laden?

Now isn’t it all in vain!

America will find you one day,

Then, for you, there will be no way.

Today people do not think you are clever,

You went to war with the strongest nation ever.

Those who praised your bravery and cunning,

Now away from you they are running.

Only if you had surrendered,

Kabul would not have been plundered.

From this war, what did your followers get?

Just pain & suffering which they will never forget!
