Thou Art My Chief Source Of Motivation

Thou art my chief source of motivation Because, never do you show caution Always, do you speak your mind To your fire, is there no end Seriously, are your poems so powerful That they inspire us to fight Against the Indian State's sheer might Your personality is beautiful Though your writing is fiery I know you wouldn't hurt a fly Because, all you want, is social justice Even if it involves a huge sacrifice! Thou art my chief source of motivation And propel me towards action Whenever I am feeling low Never are your thoughts shallow You are a raging feminist And a compassionate socialist As well as one of the leaders In the fight against casteism Not to mention, an extremely versatile writer Who blends gender and caste Romance and escapism Peace and war Religion and mass murder Truly endless, is the list But we get the gist!! Thou art my chief source of motivation Because, whenever you speak My ears dance with anticipation And the future suddenly seems less bleak Always, do you make an impact In fact, can you even act!! Of course, suffered have you, a lot However, you give up not And most importantly, remind us To keep doing the right thing always Even if it ends up killing us!! Thou art my chief source of motivation Because you simply have not, any inhibition You speak what we don't want to hear And do what most of us fear Sometimes, are you truly scary But of course, in a good way!! So much have you done, for your community And that too, without any immunity As can be seen by the sheer amount of hate you've often received Simply for speaking the truth!! I must say, hats off to your unwavering faith You've made all of us proud May the Lord bless you With all the love, success, happiness, peace and prosperity in the world!! Jai Bhim!! Vaazhga Periyar!!
