I
salute you
I salute you
for
Your keen sense of duty
Your courage
Your poise against pointed finger
And calm against abusive language
Your silence then and now
I do not know your name
Ramesh, Raheman or Rustom
And it does not matter,
Let me tell you every common man
Respect you,
Love you in his heart
For what you are –
A dignified common man
Common man sees himself in you
Please accept his warm regards
You need not speak,
Just nod.
He will understand.

An excellent tribute.
Sensational! It has a Walt Whitman everyman feeling to it. Well done!
Great post. Yes, calm under fire is to be admired and sets an example for us all.
Very thought provoking haiku and as Anthony said... a real tribute.. well done Harshadji..
Contemporary topic and a well don tribute!
What dignity to hold yourself back when people rise against you. Only great men and women exhibit this character. Nicely written.
