The great king passed away <br />Leaving the kingdom in grief <br />His mortal body laid to rest <br />Next day the king was hailed <br />His heir apparent being crowned… <br /> <br />The disciple then asked the sage: <br />What’s left behind? <br />Of one who leaves this stage? <br />His Name; mused the sage: <br />Will live long through an Age! <br /> <br />3rd May 2010<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-great-king-passed-away/
