Sonnet: The New President Of India Poem by Dr John Celes

A Scientist top has occupied the chair
Of President of India just today!
The ‘missile-man’ who darts off like a hare;
A pioneer in his field all the way.

Most people’s hearts are overwhelmed with joy!
A man of science will change our future fast;
He struggled all the way up since a boy;
A man of iron-will and glorious past.

This man of science believes in God as well!
A Poet too, he spreads his love-message;
His actions wise, his mettle soon will tell;
A war on ignorance, he will first wage.

India will become a Super- Pow’r soon!
And Indians will be up there on the Moon!

Dedicated by Dr John Celes
To His Excellency, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam,
The present President of India
