All gods shocked to see a blazing red ball roll,
Like comet of Jesus in the blue firmament whole,
All took their chariots from their chamber.
In the clouds one by one began to follow,
The blazing red ball that did go,
O'er hill and o'er vale that moved so,
Many more miles at wings of a swallow.
Tired gods couldn't wait,
The blazing red ball did cross,
The great mount Vindhyas,
Earth whispered"It be south India might".
Like an airfilled baloon in ocean's wave,
Floated in the air the red ball brave,
It flew with a falling meteor's speed,
Like the whirlwind fast blown reed.
Venus whispered to Apollo "It stops,
Over Madras" all gods did descend,
Their wondrous journey came to an end,
The red ball still this gorgeous roof tops.
Innumerable children with an holy angel,
There perhaps an heaven in earth,
It was whether in life or after death,
At this gods did suffocate,couldn't tell.
Through the garret came the golden rays,
Which illumined the spotless angel,
All the children in love fondly fell,
The angel did reciprocate and embrace.
The greatest hall with domes and columns,
Found in rolling colourful beams of light,
The thronging children burst in delight,
When each one found in gayful helms.
All gods excepting none entrapped in thrills,
Hearing the melodious sound of the music,
Never heard before such as one so fantastic,
Oh ! it embalmed all human ills.
No sorrow could express their faces,
In health lustrous children brimmed,
Their cheers of sunshine spread,
Their countenances shone like roses.
The angel's tender wings of feathers,
Projected a strange but beautiful hue,
Which made all the children woo,
Yet remained solemn in all weathers.
Venus smiled at the sweet scent,
That spread to miles by the fragrant air,
The whole domain so looked fair,
All the gods their thoughts deeper sent.
The gentle angel gently moved,
But the children marched like soldiers,
With their heroic shoulders,
As tears dropped the gods bowed.
The children's rosy cheeks blushed,
When the angel rang the bell of Towers,
All knelt in for prayers,
All gods headed by Jupiter blessed.
As heaven's scattered stars,
Twinkled the golden plates in their hands,
When the numerous children found in bands,
They looked as if marching for wars.
"They yet are children but so bold,
Heroic,intelligent and strong,
A brave new world made to belong,
To posterity" gods in ecstasy told.
The angel as radio active did emanate,
Beams of light where children did shine,
Wonder struck stood those gods nine,
The seraph fed and the children ate.
What a nutritious meal,
Those heavenly children did take,
And those gods liked to partake,
Something lost,found they did feel.
When the children finished their meal,
The angel began to teach,
Many arts like those sands of beach,
Gods again and again looks did steal.
The humbled Earth now exalted stood,
Fragrant smokes that filled the citadels,
Mingled with sounds of the celestial bells,
Amid cheers the gods the good Earth led.
The gods entered and began to speak,
"Oh! good angel we suffered a loss,
Without a solution alas ! alas!
Now we found,"Why our men are weak"?
"For body nutritious food,for soul education,
This philosophy can n't implement,
But we give you a good complement,
May you be a god and build up our nation!"
At once the blazing red ball did crown,
The angel and gods did see,
A flooded light of mercuric waves of sea,
O'er the waves like god the seraph shone.
The gods ordained him a children's star,
Left all their problem in his hands,
Melted in to clouds o'er those sands
Giving the angel the name M.G.R
(Mighty,Great,Revolution)
