From the love of God, Guru Nanak gave us
The Word,
to drown out souls
in the Supreme Name.
Guru Gobind Singh gave us the sword;
to defend what is right
and to know that good and evil are not one and the same,
On April 13, 1699,
a blessed date in the history,
the Guru asked for
the heads of the brave;
and cowards ran to their mothers
The five Pure Ones stayed and gave their lives to him; In a flash of sword,
the sheep were turned into lions,
And those who pledged, and took the Holy Nectar of sugar and water; Courage filled
their hearts and souls. And the five K’s He gave
told all of
the Birth of Pure,
and evil ran for shelter
from the battle cry of the Khalsa
And the world
was always to remember, On Vaisakhi
the roar of the
lion was heard,
This poem was the first prize in its category at the talent competition at Sti Guru Singh Sabha in NJ
