AND who were you! Bright star of India!

[I say, “THE WORLD!]

Ramanujan, the discoverer of known insight
and father of discoveries once unknown!
Your Prime was genius and short-lived
that brilliant function of soul and
number — the gods, my god, took you
and your death still a mystery —
and notebooks your legacy my angel!

That gesture after Victorian age
a beast of engine and steel —
a choice of death over life!
So wonderfully the gods refused
when you threw yourself unto
the tracks of afterlife.

Peaceful rest but I guess
One day soon your soul returns
