No Shortcuts Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

No Shortcuts
At Military Academy we were afraid to take short cuts
But there was a hidden desire to have the taste of it
EVery cadet under stress and strain wants to get peanuts
On the basis of our fitness authorities to establish writ
Every benefit we could understand in our normal routine
Military life has taught us all to be just perfect gentlemen
To fairly become keen, lean to be straight, frank and clean
Great human being in every field remains ten out of ten
And then a day comes when one fulfills desire of short cut
On wrong attractive information one just takes a chance
Being amidst if and but he is swayed and is caught by rut
A short cut taken ruines him in a glance to be in a trance
