HARBINGER
Broken
the chain of slavery past,
Changing
decades smile forecast,
Skeletal
human frame, shrunken,
Blooming
paradise love drunken, (1)
Forgotten
invaders colonies exist,
Scar of
the past history yet resist,
Craze,
era education magic wand,
Nothing
impossible human hand, (2)
Octogenarians
saw a few wars sad,
Partitioned
homeland times mad,
Aggression
invader lurking lurch,
Fifth
columnist, plotting to torch, (3)
Canvas,
glorious future prospers,
Youth
skilled, educated, hilarious,
Fewer beliefs
change the landscape,
New era
golden era horror escape, (4)
Unforeseen
security progress stay,
Female
backbone of country way,
Entering
into every stratum of lives,
Mantle,
the leadership, says, strives, (5)
Life of
mine bridging past and present,
Liberated
country poverty nascent,
Seen
hunger, diseases, death scars,
Disappearing
gradual past is war, (6)
Mightier
my country industrious,
Transform
technology miraculously,
Why I
fear unknown horror exists,
Class
and creed faith amity resist, (7)
Lost
lives, visible, the fight continues,
Selfish
venomous snake, let refuse,
Family
race group region surface,
Fratricidal
force invisible in trace, (viii)
Defeats
liberty, freedom, rules veil,
Sad at
twilight years, worry unveil,
Unity,
price of freedom, precious,
Sacrifice
critically essential pious, (9)
Led
their lives youth save frontier,
Loot
corrupt harbinger volunteer,
The
shout, chant, roar, noisy vexes,
Look at
them tearful life annexes, (10)
Nameless,
faceless, imprisoned hit,
Lost
career, future, family retreat,
Sit at
Lonely Park discolored time,
Leafless
trees scenarios life define, (11)
How
matchless resemblance stays,
Sat for
an hour, thank youths I pray,
True
harbingers protect the country,
Spare
lives selflessly guard entry. (12)
