THE SAVIOUR

(Free adaptation from Telugu Bhagavatam by Bammera Potana)

 

M. RAMAKRISHNA RAO

 

Like a noble lion, you have arrived on the scene just in time

To save us from the venomous demon who dourly commits all crime:

He groomed his henchmen and helped their heads to get swollen

And they, like mad dogs, had all the good men bitten;

But now they are held in leash by your intentions keen

To protect the meek, meritorious and the clean;

The glory of your ability shall in gold be written

To guide the people with foresight and commission;

You have kept the self-seeking devils out of commission

Making our little world a peaceful place to live in;

This is our humble prayer to the Lord in Heaven

To bless you with more success and happiness. Amen!
