The Fire of Bravery

Jallianwala Bagh was an open ground surrounded by wall Being a garden, also there was a solitary well Unarmed men, women and kids peacefully assembled But armored vehicles and formations were called Oppressor arrived to act against the unarmed Although all along all remained calmed Shut was the only small and narrow outlet Showered over the crowd was successive bullet The screaming of unarmed civilians and kids was more than to the pouring bullet sounds from positions before Several hundreds were dead and wounded in minute Whole India raised, resisted and revolted to revolute This shameful chapter added insult to the injury Set the staunch struggle solidly against colonial armory Wounds and wailing of our warriors still echoes With searing memory, India salutes its brave heroes Tho’ General Dyer shamelessly unleashed the fury The fire of bravery remains alive even after a century!
