Sonnet: The Former Prez Of India (Late) Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam (On His Ii Death Anniversary) Poem by Dr John Celes

When born, he came to earth with nothingness;
Against dishonesty, he always fought;
All life, he chose the path of righteousness;
He got his limelight, though he never sought.

An Indian, patriotic to the core,
A simple human being, he remained;
Most children loved the Prez all the more;
His soul in purity, the man sustained.

The scientist rose to stardom through mere toil;
The man of science had no ego at all;
He always loved his home-town and its soil;
His glorious life adorns a famous hall.

Another man like him cannot be born;
He always prayed before the dawn, each morn.

"May his great soul rest in peace in the Lord! "
