Destiny
Amal Jacob 1996 (kerala)
He unlocked the secrets of the cosmos
With his brilliant mind and curious eye
But faced the scorn of jealous peers
Who dared to question the status quo.
He taught himself the laws of nature
And hated the system of oppression
He solved the puzzle of space and time
And fulfilled Einstein's unfinished rhyme.
He grasped the force that binds the atoms
And built a machine that flew faster than light
He became the wealthiest man alive
And saw his homeland in a different light.
He shared his fortune with the needy
And hired mentors for the greedy
He inspired many loyal minds
Who worked for his vision of a better kind.
They transformed India with their deeds
And honored his legacy with their creeds
He was a visionary and a leader
Who unveiled the secrets of nature and wonder.
