His Excellency - a poem
# This poem was written when Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam was the President of the Indian Republic.
*His Excellency* (A tribute to our beloved Missile Man)
The King is the King,
His empire stretches far and wide,
Omnipresent in minds and hearts,
Omnipotent encompassing all,
He commands hearts,
From atop his Raisina Throne.
He does not brandish weapons,
Towards none he bears ill will,
He rules with his intellect,
Combined with childlike gentleness,
He is a man with a mission,
A developed and fearless India is his vision.
His vocation is science and technology,
Kindness and integrity is his methodology,
Poet, writer, scholar, scientist,
He is many men in one, 'Vision 2020', 'Wings of Fire',
His ideas prolific pour strength,
Igniting the minds of his countrymen.
How many hurdles,
Must have been crossed,
To reach this zenith?
Undoubtedly, an infinite!
He overcomes trials every minute,
His calm smiling face burying all of it.
His words and deeds,
Is forever etched in our minds,
Loving gestures ensconced in Indian hearts,
A billion children have a proud father,
He wields a magical wand,
Creating statesmen out of ordinary men.
