Poem: J.Jayalalithaa

 Poem

J.Jayalalithaa

Benign like a flower,

Powerful like a hundred limbed river,

This thousand faced bower.

Lovely actress-dancer,

A charming leader,

Of oceans of betrayals and sufferings,

A pain drinker.

They say,

She could have done better,

To blame than to do,

Always easier.

Her life like the vicissitudes of life-river,

Sometimes kind, sometimes cruel,

Contained many lessons for ordinary mortals,

As she rose to Goddess’ portals.
