POIGNANT REMINDER

 

POIGNANT REMINDER

 

Surreal feeling intrudes torture,

The national panorama culture,

Scenarios exhilarate, mind most,

Horrors of past floats never lost, (1)

 

Cost of freedom, sacrifice notice,

Grueling prison life deny justice,

Humiliations, fear of life prolific,

Independence story tells horrific, (2)

 

Famine human creations reveal,

Million-lives perish let upheaval,

Bountiful fertile soil grain divert,

Colonial ruler executed the plot, (3)

 

Bountiful fertile soil, rivers flow,

Rich harvest regular little know,

Cripple famine, the people stark,

Millions perished, deathly mark, (4)

 

Empty village rotten body smell,

Hungry dies rural fields felt hell,

Eastern people suffer rulers will,

Weaker a-people suffers n kneel, (5)

 

Poverty illness strike often cruel,

Poignant reminder sad past fuel,

Pang of freedom right, burn afire,

Like insect jump to fire life dare, (6)

 

Hunts struggle demand freedom,

Motherland in chain or dungeon,

Shout, objection result imprison,

Surrender fails face prosecution, (7)

 

Hang till death order crime right,

Threat to colonial rule savage fit,

Lack, education, illiteracy a curse,

Social vices female lost of course, (viii)

 

Untimely death ill pregnant dies,

Babies die for fevers nation fries,

Ancient nation, once prosperous,

Face, situation future disastrous, (9)

 

None listen to, cry for help shout,

Perpetual darkness, without root,

Century, after feels land surprise,

Development at top rock precise, (10)

 

Illiteracy diminishes women feel,

Freedom today real less to kneel,

Return feminine dignity n equal,

At par with men lead nation pal, (11)

 

No more untimed deaths, to baby,

Health education grow well savvy,

Billion-heart applaud democracy,

Colonial ruler, gone like intimacy, (12)

 

Constitution safeguards equality,

Chose electorate leader, maturity,

Peace prosperity surplus harvest,

Memory generation to know best, (13)

 

Soil sings flesh blood sacrifice all,

Pay million lives fruit nit, enthrall,

Let future-citizen waste not, time,

Realize costs, sacred freedom, fine, (14)

 

Watch nation, dungeons in-chain,

Never to get free dictator, do reign,

Subjects people forces surrender,

Realize youth, poignant reminder.  (15)
