HISTORY IS THE WITNESS

 HISTORY IS THE WITNESS

 

Invaders from West Asia, defeated,

Kingdoms bite the dust, repeated,

Manslaughter, loot, cities burning,

A ghastly picture lasted, churning, (1)

 

Devastation ruled the day and grew,

Monarchy oppressively, cruelly views,

Years passed, a civilization was lost,

Demolished temple and lives cost, (2)

 

Colonialists visited, uprooted kings,

The monarch and a hundred sing,

Paid dues or the people at mercy,

They treat as slaves, lack courtesy, (3)

 

Not allowed to make salt, weave,

Wonderful silk cloth banned live,

Ancient temples, ritual practices,

Survived harsh rules, time notices, (4)

 

Invaders under the graves, a past,

Colonies collapsed, rulers left first,

The country gained independence,

Freedom equality visible credence, (5)

 

Secular, socialist republic, perfect,

The constitution, parliament wait,

Elected members rule the nation,

Minority opposition fights elections, (6)

 

Laws of the land, the constitution,

Citizen, the eligible voter, caution,

Serve or bite the dust, or election,

Seven decades after centuries on, (7)

Peace, progress, fraternity, anoint,

Love kindness sacrifice yet cement,

History is the witness, lives develop,

Survives the future dream scopes. (viii)
