Riddle : Who Is My Poet

Tell me the poet
Who comes from Malta,
Whose name is apostolic,
Who authored "The Composer",
And the "Unspoken Words".

Tell me the poet
Who is not callous,
Who is not Carl Lewis,
Whose name sounds like both.

My poet is an Adam,
My poet an Homer,
My poet is a Plato,
My poet is a rabbi,
Who is my poet?

It could only be Paul Callus. His poem "The Composer" was absolutely brilliant. I've had the pleasure of collaborating with him and he is so kind... This was a very thoughtful and nice tribute for him. Well done, Kayode!
