Tribute to Mrs. Jagan

The falcon falls
Embraced the land of six races

The hero of struggle

With rich intellect and motherly bravery

Known fondly as blue-eyed bhoujie

She placed the Indian culture

On the altar of her American dream

And graced the downtrodden with hopes

On barely daubed bottom houses

To the misguided

The ideologue argued in their palaces of honor

Even Palestinians and Cubans you did not forget

Now your legacy too will not be forgotten

Not to be mistaken for her political views

Not everyone agrees with a God-ridden philosophy

But the rights of women and the right to speak

The whole world applauds even in holy places.
