A Making Of A Great! Poem by Ramesh T A

What does make one great in the world –
Wealth or power or position one holds?
They all come when one becomes great!

Lord Buddha is worshipped as God in the world
Due to his great heart for relinquishing royal life
And finding solution for solving miseries of life!

Alexander was a great emperor as he conquered world,
Built library in Alexandria and treated citizens well
Respecting his teacher Aristotle and family members!

Ashoka was a great emperor who conquered nations;
But knowing war victories were nothing as it made
Many orphans, he devoted his full life for charity deeds!

Shahjahan built Taj Mahal in memory of his wife Mumtaj;
This still stands as a love symbol for the world to wonder
Though he too was buried after his death along with her!

The historical facts and literary works are great matters
For all to know as they inspire all to do great deeds
That are much greater than power or wealth in the world!
