Be Responsible And Do Your Duty

By Parvati Uppala

Be responsible and do your duty

To achieve peace and prosperity

Do your part, big or small

Do it well, giving your all

Rise every morning like the rising sun

To the world, be the hopeful one

Be dutiful towards self and others

During crisis, avoid hiding under covers

Don’t make excuses to shun your obligation

Get to grips with them without hesitation

Commitment could be an altruistic act of charity

Or a vow to the loved ones fulfilled with sincerity

Failing to carry out one’s responsibilities

Lead to chaos, downfall, missed opportunities

Everyone is obliged to demonstrate accountability

Which is the very essence of humanity

Doctor’s duty is to help patients heal

Chef’s duty is to serve customers with delicious meal

Judge’s duty is to deliver parties impartial judgement

Art director’s duty is to provide audience entertainment

Regardless of the stripe of assignment shouldered

Stay true to your word, don’t let dedication get altered

Shed the chains of indolence, distraction, and dread

Be conscientious and build a more prosperous world
