A Tribute To Atal Behari Vajpayee



Was He BJP's Congressman?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
poetry laced speech
left his audience spell bound
he had a vast reach
.
he exuded love
and excused his detractors
with a mere hand shove
.
consensus his style
acrimony made him sad
disliked current vile
.
had great equation
with Nehru and Indira
for this did bhakts shun?
.
went to Pak by bus
but see how he was back-stabbed
on Kargil - nonplussed
.
his Agra summit
was sabotaged - no names please-
they feared his credit
.
he would be misfit
eye for eye is in fashion
in peace let him rest
