The tree of wisdom summons
The souls of victors dead
Stand forth above the commons
As we soar thru’ mines ahead
Admirals pulling their weight
As the compass sets to shore
A journey that can ne’er wait
Endless purpose is our chore
Wise are the sages of time
Unraveling the secrets of lore
Staging the essence of rhyme
Beckoning the warriors afore
Time shall not besiege us
As the battle rages on
Dreams shall not abandon us
Until our mission is done
A school is what we plan
to start and shall not end
To reach the elusive honor
of scholarly stupend

The poem is dissected to reveal it's meanings!
The tree of Wisdom - symbolizes the strength our unity
The tree of wisdom summons - Our unity demands our attention
... The souls of victors dead - it calls for the hero within us
Stand forth above the commons - to come out of the crowd
As we soar thru’ mines ahead - to brave thru dangers ahead
Admirals pulling their weight - commanders share responsibility
As the compass sets to shore - a direction to focus on
A journey that can ne’er wait - we must move now
Endless purpose is our chore - because this is a lifetime commitment
Wise are the sages of time - our wise leaders have a dream
Unraveling the secrets of lore - quoting the success of our past
Staging the essence of rhyme - setting the pace to follow
Beckoning the warriors afore - raising our fighting spirits
Time shall not besiege us - won't give up just coz it needs time
As the battle rages on - we will persist even if it is difficult
Dreams shall not abandon us - we will remain resilient
Until our mission is done - until our objectives are met
A school is what we plan - we want to build a school
to start and shall not end - once set up. we will keep it up
To reach the elusive honor - so that our kids will be able to gain
of scholarly stupend - an international top-class education
Good.
