Loss of a Legend

Orator, Scientist, Lyricist, Marxist Teacher, Scholar, Doctor, Mentor Multifaceted, Multitalented Endless list, As a Legend departs, leaving heavy hearts. Inspiration to many, shaping, guiding Provoking thoughts touched many lives The foreword you wrote, the advice I cherish A light extinguished, A loss to the Nation, no small measure For you were Dear Sir, were a National treasure. Timeless Sir, the role you played For many in different walks of life Indelible Sir, are the footsteps left In the sands of Lanka’s Medical peers.
