International Literacy Day

Jay Sur, Kolkata

Today is International Literacy Day,
Let us gather to celebrate in every way,
The power of knowledge, the gift of the pen,
To empower every woman, every man…

From lessons learnt in the pages of old,
To advance to the future, we stand bold,
For the journey of literacy is far from done,
We strive for results, for everyone…

In the past, the path was not so bright,
When books were scarce, and the world not so light,
But brave souls fought to unlock the door,
To bring education, to every shore…

They paved the way for future generations,
With their blood, their sweat, their dedications,
They showed us the path, they showed us the light,
They proved that literacy ignites the fight…

Thus, we move forward, hand in hand,
With the lessons from past, our spirits expand,
We embrace the tools of the modern age,
To create a world where no one is caged…

In this ever-evolving, digital age,
We adapt, we learn, we turn the page,
From printed words to bytes of data,
Literacy evolves, but still remains a creator…

With technology, we bridge the divide,
Access to knowledge, no longer denied,
From e-books to online libraries so vast,
We push the boundaries, empower the outcast…

Yet amidst the advancements, we must not forget,
The power of simpler means, we must not neglect,
For literacy starts with a love for the book,
In the touch of the page, in the thirst it took…

Let us march forward, united as one,
To ensure literacy reaches everyone,
From young to old, from near to far,
We strive for a world where no one is barred…

On this International Literacy Day,
Let us remember the lessons that lead the way,
Let us embrace the future, but honor the past,
For it is through literacy, that dreams can last…
