Poem – LIBERTY STATUE
Ranganathan Parthasarathy Love beaming, for all living beings of International Society, from Her face, Both hands holding, Book of Knowledge and torch light of Eternal Wisdom Eyes inspiring every ones Hope and each ones, Right to live, learn, love and leave the legacy To our future generations, by You and me, Liberty Statue stands sky high. Statue stands as symbol of Sovereignty of self of all. To declare and defend Democracy and to proclaim America’s ambition, affection and affinity True to the salt of sea and blue of sky Urging us U.S. and U.N. as individual(s) and Nation(s) every moment year after year and centuries Evergreen – Statue of Liberty Stands. Ranganathan Parthasarathy was born in a village in southern India in 1940. After his school graduation he found a long career in banking, working for the State Bank of India, the largest commercial bank in India, and continued there till his retirement. Though he was dealing with numbers in his entire life, he has a passion towards literature. He has composed poems and written articles and stories in his native language Tamil and in English. He also published a book in Tamil in honor of his mother. He and his wife visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time in September 2003. The sight of the Statue of Liberty reminded him of his childhood memories on the freedom of the Indian Republic, and his feelings about September 11, 2001 events. He could not resist composing this poem to reflect his feelings and thoughts about life and freedom. He can be contacted through e-mail at jayranga@hotmail.com. |
