Phenomenal
Amal Jacob 1996 (kerala)
He had a mind that yearned to know
The secrets of the cosmos and the soul
He had a spark that none could match
But he was scorned by those who feared his role.
They shunned him for his brilliance
They mocked him for his poverty
They schemed to kick him out of school
They let the bullies beat him brutally.
But he was strong, he learned to fight
He trained in martial arts, he sought revenge
He thrashed them all, but then he quit the school
And left his love, he felt estranged.
He studied on his own, he found the truth
He cracked the puzzles of space and time
He had a vision of the human mind
He reached the pinnacle of mind and reality.
He planned to change the world with his wisdom
He spoke to everyone with empathy
He found his purpose and his mission
He lived a life of courage and belief.
