PALADIN
Chivalry
blood-soaked past kingdom,
Panoramic
still exhibit fears seldom,
Invaders
came and looted gold jewel a lot,
Fought
brave men, stupendous effort,(1)
Might
is right to fight only annihilation,
Conquer
the prosperous state notion,
Defeat
invites disaster void and horror,
Lost
civilization arts craft volunteers, (2)
Betray
panorama greenery scenery,
Underneath
the soil, a story, history,
Stands
rock temples carving cherish,
Kalinga
once more raised head wish, (3)
Paradise
on the earth unparallel lit,
Beautiful
and river mountain delight,
Paladins
are tribal honest, innocent,
Humans
born amidst natural descent, (4)
They
fight with the vagaries of climate,
Centuries-old
cultures communicate,
Those
created temples art no more,
Kalinga
lost the historical art allure, (5)
Tribal
festivals consume fascinate,
People
are simple, ordinary life, fates,
Know
poverty, lack of infrastructure,
Visited
villages live serenity enamor, (6)
Paladins
of current age survive praise,
Country
bowl of rice bountiful raise,
Rice
field hills river scenery mesmeric,
Here
lives paladin past is past exotic, (7)
Brave
people, honest, educated, grow,
Konark
shows the story of people owe,
Paladins
died once Dhauli Hill cried,
River
was red by blood to Asoka defy, (viii)
Turned
into a Buddhist return back,
Elderly
lady a paladin, her son she lacked,
Challenged
the emperor Asoka, she cried,
Give my
son you killed, she defied, (9)
Paladin
roam, unknown, many love,
Honest,
hardworking farmers solve,
Abode
of Lord people throng yearly,
Pull
chariot in millions love merrily, (1)
Long
coastline Chilika Great Lagoon,
Travelers'
destination visiting boon,
Paladin
build brass silver artifacts,
Homemade
clothes are famous, in fact. (11)
