in wanting to silence any song. - Robert Frost
the jealous dons
threatened by his genius
tried to silence his song
mocked and derided
by his colleagues
one inspired by the divine light
a dazzling sunshine force
is hard to smother
because
of this poverty stricken
indian boy
black holes were discovered
his equations gave us
and are still giving us
the key
to unlocking the secrets
of the universe
few in the west
have even heard of him
God bless you Srinivasa
A movie highly recommended *****
