A Godsend

I composed this poem on April 23, 2014, a day before Shri Narendra Modi filed his nomination papers in Varanasi.


A Godsend
    
Some enter politics for politics’ sake;
Some choose politics as a career.
Politicians are both real and fake –
Some are ruined some enjoy life superior.
Some are born politicians;
Some, if nothing else, inherit politics;
Some are maladroit politicians;
Some are pivotal figures in politics;
Some are treated as honoured thinkers;
Some are litter of politicized social eddy;
Some, though rash, are desirable leaders;
Some power-sick consume with self-pity.
But few earn their place in the history,
Sacrifice everything for people’s sake,
Raise countrymen the world to lead,
And are delighted people happy to make.
He who is married to social welfare,
Whose family are the countrymen,
Whose competence is beyond compare is
Called NaMo: for the nation a godsend,
A man of action, of stern moral fibre
And with the will to be the guardian angel,
To find the answer to every poser,
And every complex web to untangle.
