THE SACRIFICE

To sacrifice for the loved ones and the nation is the noblest of acts;

As there is bit of Heroism and the Compassion in each ‘n’ everyone,

To lay down one’s life in devotion and love is a very well known fact;

For in dire states Brave hearts never flinch,back out or cowardly run.

They challenge authority of tormenting tyrants or demonic despots;

Brave hearts vow to finish them by coups ‘n’ attempts to dethrone,

And smilingly face the wrath, atrocities,bullets and the gunshots;

Which are lethal, deadly ,extremely dangerous and death -prone.

Bravo and Kudos! They sacrificed for their greatest, loving Nation;

Their love for their motherland is inspiring ,exemplary,’n’ unique–

Giving their precious life for betterment of the future generations;

And grateful Nation in their praises— always dance, sing ‘n’ speak.

Their sacrifice suddenly awakens slumbering Nation with electric jolt;

And ordinary,meager society begins revolt with newly found courage–

Often by non- co-operation, strikes ‘n’ brings nation to a grinding halt;

Finally bombarding, hanging dastardly,devilish dictators in fits of rage.

THE REVOLUTION

Devilish Dictator sucked blood of his subjects like Vampire;

They asked for little bread–and he threw at them the cake,

Everyone was tortured by him throughout his vast empire;

Their confidence ‘n’ respect for him began to forever shake.

Slowly the discontentment,anguish ‘n’ hatred began to grow;

The Revolutionaries planned to overthrow eccentric Emperor,

Who imagined himself to be the smartest like fox or the crow;

This infuriated Brave hearts -—who developed short tempers.

Suddenly widespread riots broke–which were difficult to tame;

As the demonic Despot become more unreasonable ‘n’ insane,

And he flogged to death the Destitute, deaf,dumb and the lame;

For they dared to protest–-The reason seemed so mundane!!!

The Revolutionaries came to streets and began Freedom march;

With knives, machetes, guns,and torches towards Royal Palace,

Pulling down the Colonial Flag from every dome, pole and arch;

They tied the dangerous dictator to a pole ‘n’ shot him in the face.

An ebullient old beggar pulled out from his robe the National flag;

Waving it gloriously he ushered in a new era of peace and liberty,

Ending the long reign of terror and life of misery, poverty and rags;

With visions and dreams
