If thou think that they don’t know, …… then I’m sorry.

Bruhaspati Samal

Secretary, AIPEU, Group-C, Bhubaneswar

 If thou think that they don’t know

To report in time and attend to duty.

And how to bargain for their benefit,

Then I’m sorry  and regret thy resolution

To teach them punctuality

And to make them responsible and fit.

If thou think that they don’t know

How to maintain trade union fraternity

And to meet challenges before trade union,

Then I’m sorry  and regret thy preparation

To teach them the meaning of unity

And the essence of federation.

If thou think that they don’t know

The importance of rulings

And  power of right to information,

Then I’m sorry  and regret thy estimation

To teach them the meaning of extraction

And role of trade union.

If thou think that they don’t know

The thorns which bleed them torn them

Is of the same tree they have planted.

Then I’m sorry  and regret thy conclusion

To make them understand

That they are not to be blamed.

All are qualified  and all are informed

Unity is essential all are confirmed

But slept knowingly throughout,

Quite boisterous and punctual in personal matter

Vested interests have full  bargain power

There is certainly no  doubt.

Organization is meeting loss easily all assess

Late attendance affects productivity

Won’t they  ever guess ?

Can thou teach them ?

Willingness to accept responsibility

And punctuality is the sure of success.

Workshop and study camps are quite welcome

Character building should  be taught

To enhance wisdom

Everybody should learn to discover his work

And understand the other side of rights

To save the kingdom.

Let’s expect the new dawns are set

With hopes of dewy wet pleasant duty

And everybody should learn,

Not to fight for bringing Bills for Rights

But to bring Bills for Responsibility

To build a healthy and wealthy nation.
