Immortal Epics! Poem by Ramesh T A

Immortal epic great poet puts down on paper.....
Once he sees the character of charismatic leader!
Rama, Krishna, Ulysses, Achilles, Buddha, Sankara,
Christ, Arthur, Robin hood, Alexander and Gandhi
How can mankind forget as long as Earth is there?

Moses, Solomon, Vikramaditya, Sanakya, Hermes
And many more immortal characters poets depict
In world Classical writings mankind remember ever!
Inspiration got out of them makes good hearts live
To do miracles by achieving impossible missions too!

Hard times, unfortunate situations in life put him
Under untold sufferings he has to endure by Fate....!
Many a skillful masters live and go as undiscovered
Treasure under ocean caves or flowers in the desert!
Yet, marks they left behind resurrect them someday!

Classical poetic plays are replaced by modern novels;
Short stories have come up in many forms everywhere;
Philosophical articles and criticism reveal many truths;
Journalism utilising all forms create a new art of writing;
Yet, poetry survives bringing back old charms still on line!

Telegraphic messages have become SMS messages now;
Many messages are compressed now into poems new!
Though poem looks like an atom has effect of atomic bomb!
Nothing else can replace them even after long passage of time;
New poetic epics will come from geniuses great sure soon!
