Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – iconic and truly inspirational!

A Poem by COLLYMORE
"

From time to time there appears on the international stage a truly global figure whose honesty, integrity and refreshingly constructive approach to world affairs makes one positively sit up and think.

"

By Stanley Collymore

 

We’ve never met but even so I feel that I know you

ever so well, because empathetically we’re on

the same plane; a situation reinforced by the

consummate respect that your sterling

character, multiple qualities and

abundant skills give rise to

and have themselves

solidified in me.

 

The world desperately needs more people and largely

inspirational leaders like you Sir that in terms of

intellectual acumen, leadership, commonsense,

human compassion, foresight, fortitude and

the morality to stand up undauntedly for

truth, not specious motives, and what

intuitively you know and crucially

believe to be right, ably can and

do rise above the fray to straddle

like a gargantuan Colossus the petty,

small-minded and Lilliputian political dwarfs

who with their bizarre notions of cultural

and racial superiority feel that they

have an inalienable right to

rule mankind.

 

This risibly to an Iranian like yourself, of all people

Sir, who knows, as do all other prescient-minded

individuals globally, that were Iran to unlikely

even do so, what it blithely chooses to forget

in terms of its millennia old civilization and

cultural heritage these quite brash, vacuous

and totally irremediable western upstarts:

not liberators just glorified murderers,

have yet to acquaint themselves

with let alone master. So as

your Presidency draws to

its close, rest assured Sir

of your legacy to

mankind; and

thank you!

Footnote:

 

From time to time, but regrettably not often enough, there appears on the international stage a truly global figure whose honesty, integrity and refreshingly constructive approach to world affairs makes one positively sit up and think; and all thankfully for the better.

 

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is such a person! Now as his second and equally successful term of office as President of the Islamic Republic of Iran comes to its close, I personally want to pay tribute to his tenacity and overall legacy, as well as to say to him: “God bless you Sir; I wish you all the very best for the future, and express my sincerest thanks and utmost gratitude to you for all that you’ve done.

That was a different read for me...as a tribute to someone that inspires you and the way you convey that in words seems to dictate the honor and respect you have for the person...
