A person of strong <br />Likes and dislikes <br />Expressed his feelings <br />Irrespective of their <br />Being palatable or not <br /> <br />Earned mostly bad names <br />Because of his ventilation <br />Of what he feels <br /> <br />Most of us camouflage <br />Our real feelings and <br />Come out with only sweet and <br />Untrue expressions <br /> <br />He was a person who demonstrated <br />True love and in that <br />His advices were bitter a times <br />But always held a load of <br />Pure love and affection <br /> <br />Even those people, <br />Who have nothing but <br />Complaints against him <br />Enjoyed his voluntary services <br />And which he rendered without <br />Any expectation but only <br />To demonstrate his love for them <br /> <br />How many of us are going <br />To remember him for his <br />Great qualities <br /> <br />The same outbursts of <br />His unmasked opinion <br />Did not take him far <br />And did not allow him <br />To have a life most of us <br />Normally enjoy <br /> <br />Till last minute he lived <br />His life his own way <br />May be true, he did not <br />Do sacrifices to maintain <br />Relations because he might have <br />Thought his love is sufficient <br />Enough to do that and he did not <br />Believe in convincing people <br />That he is right <br /> <br />And the day he breathed his last <br />His soul departed alone and unsung <br />I am sure his soul will always be around <br />Those, whom he dearly loved <br />But my heart knows <br />It was a less mourned death<br /><br />Bashyam Narayanan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-a-less-mourned-death/
