Our Union: Our Motto

Union is Unity 
                      For All: 

All For One. 
 

Together we Rule, 
 

Together we Rise 
                      or Fall. 
 

Our performance is 
                       Equal: 
 

Together we stand 
                        As Equals: 

We know no Fear, 

For we stand As 
                        Honestly, Humble People: 
 

We Represent Attentively, 
 

The Human Beings 
                        of Dignified Race. 
 

We Co-operate as One: 
 

Our Achievement is  
                         Unchallenged. 
 

Words Remain 
                         Incomparable. 
 

Our Action Speaks Uniquely, 
In positive wording. 
 

Silently we Rule, 
                        Without Weapon, 

For Action speaks 
                         Louder Than words. 
 

I Behold Love

I behold Love: 

Love stands 
                   Before me, 

What Else can I possibly 
                   Desire? 

I Embrace the Darkness 
                    With Open Arms. 

Today I Fear not Fear. 

I Fear not Unknown 
                     of Mankind. 

I want only You. 

Tonight Let Love 
                      Entwine Fear. 

Let the World Embrace 
                       The World. 

I want to Embrace 
                        my Love.

Bicker and Banter

Pitter Patter, 
Titter Tatter, 
Why Do you 
                   With me Bicker and Banter? 
Gratter! Gratter! 
I Do Not with You 
                    Squabble or Scanter.
