THE DAUGHTER OF INDIA – A MUST READ POEM BY VARNIKAA RAIZADA
THE DAUGHTER OF INDIA
SHE WAS INNOCENT AS A DOVE
UNKNOWN TO THE HAWKS OF THE WORLD.
READY FOR ALL THE GOALS TO BE STRIVED,
TILL THAT DOOMING DAY ARRIVED.
SHE WAS HIT BY THE BOLTS OF THUNDER,
AS THE HUNTERS MOVED TO SATISFY THEIR HUNGER.
THEY TORE HER DREAMS INTO PIECES,
AS BUTTERFLIES IN HER STOMACH DIED
NOT RELIEVED FROM THE PAWS OF BEASTS,
TILL HER LAST BREATH, YET SHE TRIED.
DYING WAS SHE AS THEY TOOK HER EVERY GRAIN,
EVERY TIME THE MEMORIES HIT THE SHORE OF HER BRAIN.
HER DREAMS SHATTERED AND SMILE FADED
AS THE EVIL FALCONS CAME,INVADED
STILL SHE FOUGHT AND LIVED FOREVER,
THOUGH THE RHYTHM OF HER PULSE ENDED.
