Ode To That Great Man

Oh Salient 
One..
These lines 
salute you 
not 
because 
thou art a 
great ruler 
of people 
but it 
sings your 
praise 
because 
thou art a 
Great 
leader of 
the 
people...
As Our 
Comrades 
would put 
it 'Whom 
the Cap 
Fits'..
Like Da 
Vinchi, Like 
Hippocrates...
To You do 
we etch 
these 
salient 
lines..
Lines that 
Honour 
men that 
dance to 
the 
drumbeat 
of the 
spirits...
Men that 
see above 
the Alps, 
To Men 
That See 
Through, 
do we 
Chant 
these 
Odes..
We lift up 
voices we 
lift up our 
waists..
My good 
friends do 
come and 
dance 
to the 
health of 
this 
greatman..
Selah
