A Pitiable Thing Poem by gnrao rao

The lady with the iron heart,
And frank in her speeches,
and words,
but who was very proud
and adamant is no more.

She was corrupt, they say,
Who is not corrupt,
these days,
Her corruption and
amassing wealth
in indirect means
put her in the jail
after 18 years.
Now she is no more.

She had the intelligence,
and smartness,
and acted with tact,
and was a good administrator,
Kept in control
who were working with her,
and had all the needed
news and information
at her fingertips.

She worked for more
for the women,
even for feeding motherw
a secluded area
in the public places too.

She arranged for free
marriages, she cared
More for female children
made a special arrangement
for their bringing up.

She arranged for
women police stations,
she argued well
in the assembly
and gave right
explanations.

On one fine day
she was admitted
in the Appolo Hospital
in Chennai,
and left the world.

The members of the
Legislative assembly
are in fragments,
Yet a solution
is not found
and the vacuum still
remains a vacuum.

Her body rests.
But no idea
what her soul is
after.

She is remembered
and revered as AMMA
AMMA MEANS MOTHER,
Let her soul rest
in peace
after giving
Tamil Nadu
A right leader.

She is the lioness
and an iron lady
who faced many problems
as a lady chief Minister,
that is
Ms, J.JAYA LALITHA.
