The Hall Mark Of Greatness Of The Great! Poem by Ramesh T A

How one becomes great is all time suspense can't be decided
by one's power, position or possession in the world ever!
Great men make great promises and also fulfill them sans fail;
Love makes them do all as greatness lies in love, not in intellect!!

Achievements they leave behind ever talk about their greatness;
And inspire everyone to aspire for the great in the world sure!
Inspiration gives determination to think great to do great things;
With inspiration they move people and world as they wish ever!

Temples, churches and mosques are the achievements of their greatness;
Schools, hospitals, gardens and so on are the extensions of their deeds;
Arts, science and philosophy are the scales they use to measure truth;
Love and truth are the foundation upon which they build their empire!

Power corrupts, Wealth makes arrogant, Knowledge makes proud but not great;
Great scientist Edison once forgot his name and Tagore his own poems, when
Quoted by someone on an occasion as true artists forget themselves in art;
But that is the hallmark of the greatness of a great person in the world!
