Life is
a phoenix, can rise from the ashes
Presents
a future at challenging situations
This
altar of ashes is fountain of new life
War was
thrusted, martyrdom shined
Memories
of soldiers ignite beauties of life
Phoenix
is a metaphor of life in action
Ashes
remind us to celebrate greatness of those lives.
(Dr. Kalam wrote this poem to mark his visit to the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Moscow where the ashes of the martyrs of the
second world war Russian soldiers are kept. Seeing the newly-wed Russian
couples getting themselves photographed at the memorial, the President wrote
this poem.)
