THE LAST BASTION
Love Bapu whispered overwhelm,
Ancient people in chain regain,
Regain freedom past in chain,
Mughal Empire crumbles, gone,
Colonialist left shore back home,
Democracy was the last bastion, (1)
Peaceful, nonviolence all clarion,
A long stick cloth clad Bapu won,
Ignited entire land independence,
Skeleton of ancient spirits tense,
A rise in strength slumber vanish,
Melt language, region class miss,
Kingdoms fall sweeps revolution,
The nation got unity the last bastion, (2)
Unity to demolish poverty total,
Erase illiteracy n distrust fatal,
Wall of class faith race discard,
Dreamed my nation to forward,
A dream never fulfills hopes pain,
Awaken spirit sleep dark again,
Corruption power-hungry hurt,
Pollutes national fabric n inert, (3)
Corona spreads raise horror lot,
Million are sick again fail effort,
Nation in vaccine drives protect,
Progress of nation slides detect,
Health is a prime factor only save,
Lockdown night curfew in a wave,
Mask distancing practice effect,
Corona warrior moves in action,
Cooperation is the last bastion, (4)
People understand skill better,
Art craft technology treat cure,
Science research study online,
Skill sets for agriculture refine,
Women empower mainstream,
Work, sport, defense at cream,
The new generation hates corruption,
Skill rebuilds n the last bastion (5)
Preserve forest pristine nature,
Conserve rainwater like a savior,
Build dams dike underground,
Water famine dealt life secure,
Massive effort for grain loss lot,
Million tons procured yearly rot,
Migrant labor is national equal,
The last bastion conserve primal, (6)
Air-water pollute desert on rising,
Doomsday at corner n surprise,
The climax of a story waits tragic,
Avalanche to ruin nation a sick,
Misses nature races to oblivion,
Nature saves is the last bastion (7)
Intense thought on exits nation,
Searches the last bastion often,
Democracy, unity, cooperation,
Conserve, skill, nature caption,
Compares conscience all option,
Only nature is the last bastion. (8)
