Immortals Poem by Vaibhav Pandey

Immortals

Rating: 4.3


To understand the logic of greatness,
we need to be inexplicably illogical,
Neither by the artistic brilliance, never,
Nor by the philantropic demeanour,
Can one withstand Achilles, the warrior.

Those legends of the past, immortals.
Their surreal saga, immutable.
Gifted with the glory, unmatchable.
Surpassing their Stature, impossible.
Exactness of their excellence, debatable.........

Well stated. We cannot judge present standards by past ideas of greatness.

Dear Vaibhav, it appears that you were once History student and yore you speak with the past glory. It is the age of nuke. But history never dies for particulars. History reminder is in the poem. Good work..

Some people do seem larger than life and truly immortal. I consider Mother Theresa one of those special people. Nice poem, Vaibhav! Best Wishes, Marilyn
