ADIEU
An
era of world and war engulfed,
The
empire over the globe shook,
God
saves the queen subjects sail,
Conquered
continents in her name,
Boats
sailed over seven oceans best,
Monarchy
fluttered her flag proudly,
The
tongue covered the world stayed,
Communicates
world easily understand,
Commonwealth
for royal fame colony,
Island,
people got rich, ships in the harbor,
Food,
gold, jewelry, spices, architecture,
Brought
cultures of seven continents,
Subjects
of queen color brown, black,
Mongoloid
oriental flavor of an island,
Asia
Africa saw war, fought for war,
Honor
countries regained, valiant,
Fascists
bite the dust, Europe got liberated,
Devastated
flourished kingdom totally,
Queen
has seen hunger, death, homeless,
Under
her domain, regained Treasure Island,
Tames
flowed, serenity sang beautifully,
Citizens
from colonies refurbished home,
Rebuilt
queen’s kingdom stronger,
Her
children grand kids grew taller,
British
flag still exists around the globe,
Dominions
kept link royal proudly,
America,
Asia, Australia, and Africa share,
British
blood had spread worldwide,
English
tongue, culture, faith, custom,
A
billion Indians know how deeply cherish,
The
prized possession of language unites,
Cement
plural society, solid and united,
Raj
Ma’am has gone seven decades,
My
country tries its best to forget Raj,
Freedom,
democracy, equality, liberty,
The
gift of God to the country fared,
Still,
royal flavor shines hidden,
The
jewel of the crown is still nostalgic,
Loves
the memory, British rule,
India
undivided, one people, fought,
Tibet
independent, Kashmir one,
British
left this country partitioned,
Millions
perished, faith divided us,
China
occupied Tibet at our border,
They
occupied a large territory of our land,
Brown
sahibs looted for six decades,
After
royal rule left our shore, happily,
Divided
the sacred Bharat ancient,
Prospering
in amity, cooperation,
Vanished
unity, clean life, education,
The
corrupt, vulgar, divisive demon rose,
Divided,
still sucks the blood of the poor,
The
blood of illiterate and women,
Caste,
color, language, regions cripple,
Misused
liberty, freedom raising fangs,
Killing
people with new names tagged,
Urban-Naxalism
terror militant threat,
Underworld
parallel economy run,
How
subjects controlled here,
Thank
you, Ma’am English is the voice,
Cuttack
my city, once a capital,
Ravenshaw
College exists, now a university,
Stuart
school is still prominent,
Raj,
four centuries, remnants,
My
country is free remembering,
Charming
face, compassionate heart,
Your
reign on the isle rebuilt, fabulous,
The
world acknowledges reign majestic,
Thank
you Ma’am adieus in honor.
