FREEDOM STRUGGLE (INDIA)

FREEDOM STRUGGLE (INDIA)

A Poem by TRISHA PRASAD

What do you know,

About the rule of British?

It is not a rule

For Indian`s to cherish!

 

It started decades ago,

They began with trade

And then slowly,

They began to invade.

 

It started at the borders

That were close to the coasts

It was a rule,

About which Britain boasts.

 

What then became of the Indians

And their peaceful life?

The British turned it ,

Into more of a bitter strife.

 

The horrors of British rule

Steadily began to bloom.

Across our country far and wide

Began the days of gloom.

 

The Indians didn`t back out,

They fought for their rights.

Across the country could be seen

The start of horrendous fights.

 

Battles were in plenty,

Loss of lives were too.

Those who were caught were jailed

It was like a human zoo!

 

It didn`t stop the Indians

They wanted to be free.

They were a support to the country

Like strong roots to a tree.

 

Images of the horrors

Were seen at different posts.

What about  innocent people?

The images haunted them like ghosts!

 

Few hundred years of struggle

Had come to an end.

It was decided that the British

Back to England they would send.

 

The country we live in today

Is thanks to those,

The brave freedom fighters

Who destroyed our woes.
