‘The Head will not bow’ he said as an appeal for peace fell
on deaf ears,
at Kargil, this leader of people and man of letters was
snubbed, stoking all fears.
But then a Pigeon flew to Lahore and a call for brotherhood was
made,
however too short was the tenure for a little & brittle
good!
An attempt to stitch the highways in Gold,
a love for language and polity, so graceful yet bold.
A new ministry for disinvestment, to unshackle the License
Raj,
a fine leader with finesse
and flaws and yet those have a valid
cause.
To be nuclear without an intent to attack and to fight
without malice,
to talk without lecturing & to criticize without slander – so much for
less!
A good son of the nation departed, the collapse of a strong
pillar,
and we mark the day and remember our beloved nation builder!
