A Leader
Tried to be straightforward;
Misunderstood by everyone.
Common were the brickbats;
Discarded by the loved ones.
Though life seemed miserable,
Like a rock stood he!
Lost no hope…
Fought till the end uncompromised,
For the principles he believed in.
As a guiding light he emerged.
Truth is always bitter
For those who dislike it.
