On His First Death Anniversary - A Doctor's Tribute To The (Late) Indian Prez Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (27-07-2016) Poem by Dr John Celes

The People's President, man of science;
A man with unique conscience;
He showed he was exemplary,
And left the world sans rivalry!

The Missile-man, an Indian great!
He sowed the seeds of love, not hate;
Exhorting youth to have great dreams,
And drink the waters of ken-streams!

Oh, what a simple man was he!
A role-model to all truly;
Much married to his profession,
He left in style, and much passion.

A statue honors him today,
Wherein his mortal remains stay;
He took back nothing, but his soul,
And left youth stupefied by role!

May Indians learn from this great man!
With will/toil feats great, do you can;
You should not waste your priceless time;
Use it to make your life sublime!
