A Great Leader
There was, once, a leader named Kamaraj,
Though illiterate, filled with true knowledge;
Went to visit a government school once,
It was a time many felt he's a dunce...!
It was time for the national anthem,
All paraphernalia started when,
A boy therein got fainted and fell down,
Great leader saw him, as though in death, drown...!
He took hold of him ignoring all rules,
National? international? Looked cool;
He embraced the boy and asked: did you eat?
No - he said - he fed him. gave him heart-beat...!
