Veer Kunwar Singh: a Short Tale

I SALUTE BABU KUNWAR SINGH 
Let me tell you the story of a true warrior king, 
‘Ran Bankura’, grand old Babu Kunwar Singh; 
Who was a land lord 
But wielded the sword! 
Remember the rebellion of 1857, when India had a first shout 
Babu Kunwar led it in Bihar and did it without any doubt. 
Imagine the wonderful forests, ground and ‘the cave’, who witnessed the gorilla warfare 
In a fight of pride and honor when everything was not fair. 
The neighing horses, the collision of swords and a command of old man 
He will not get defeated, that is the best he can! 
He was old yet brave, he died a master and not a slave. 
It tells us there is no age to fight, 
What matters is the spirit and the feel for right. 
We all know of Jack n Jill but 
Shouldn’t we know the old man’s will! 
The force was grounded, his hand was wounded. 
He went ahead and cut his hand, 
To protect his people and to free his land.

I wish I could understand this. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
