‘An ode to M R Rajagopal’ by Dr Deepak Sudhakaran

Categories: Opinion and People & Places.

The ever humble Oh MRR
How indebted we all are

To you and your incredible vision
Which is propelling all of us for a noble mission

To help and alleviate sadness of those unfortunate
Who wished living in happiness but it came too little too late

You proved that mountains can be moved with humility
You showed that there is still space for originality and integrity

I guess it’s because of your all encompassing heart
Which wants to ensure compassion for all to the end from the start

Despite of the many ups and downs you have seen
You constantly nourished those around you whether or not they were keen

There are only countable few who matter to one in this journey of life
You are certainly a soul whose contribution has given many of us a meaningful drive

A drive that’s for the suffering of those all around
A drive that taught each sufferer with CARE and CARESS we must surround

How profoundly their life was touched is what people always remember
How you make countless feel cared for is what you always render

Thank you for showing us how to hear the voiceless and see the deliberately unseen
May the path you have shown kindle a world free of suffering in every way you mean
