The Nation’s Pride : Dr Vumson

“ ODE TO DR VUMSON ”

(The Nation’s Pride)

Thy Name,

Heard on Earth;

Thy Work,

Reached the Globe;

Thy Vision,

Touched the People;

Thy Feet,

Remained in Zoland;

Thy Book,

The Nation’s Pride:

The Golden Teasure

Of

CHIN-KUKI-MIZO-ZOMI.

O Heaven!

WHY?

The Zomi Ambassador;

The Zomi Scientist;

The Zomi Philospher;

AND

The Pioneer of ZO Unity,

Left us Heavenly Abode:

On this 19th September, 2005.

The day of Tears;

We mourned for Thee,

May thy Soul:

Rest in Peace,

We Love Thee Still.

*This poem is dedicated to our beloved Dr Vumson Suantak, who was born on July 1, 1937 at Tamdeang Village in Myanmar, and passed away on 19th September, 2005 at Laurel Hospital, Maryland, USA. Dr Suantak is the author of ‘Zo History’. This young poet came across the news of his death on 22nd Oct., 2005 which was carried by Mizoram's biggest newspaper, VANGLAINI. Thus the young poet penned down this poem with tears! Later on, this ODE was also published in LAITAI, a monthly journal of Zomi Baptist Church, Champhai, Mizoram. ~ Bruce K. Thangkhal, Aizawl, dated 22nd October, 2005.
