The Fallen Warrior

By Tanush Bhatnagar

Oh! The chevalier most valiant

Held a sword to eliminate despair

Oh! The knight most altruistic

With an armour of love and care

Oh! The guardian most majestic

Wore a helmet to give respect so rare

A battlefield enemy dominant

Called out his name in agony,

“I am yours and await your presence

My enormous fields lie barren

Waiting for the gust of wind

To send you rushing in!”

As he stood with his chest out

They stood shivering and shout

The battle cry with which the battle begins

He moves swiftly injuring general Sins

Sprinting ahead, shattering pessimism

He finally destroys the troops with abundant optimism

Even after being fatigued by wounds so deep

He hoisted the flag for the land was his to keep

After a while a man visited the king

Long songs of praise he would sing

He and the king got along just fine

This is the calm before the storm in line

Soon after which his influence wins

One gets exiled of the two twins

The king loses his land and fame

While the twin ruled the lands with his name

The land is not ruled by his owner anymore

The land degrades but, everything has a cure

The key to the cure is absolute determination

For short or long period of duration

Now I must reveal his name

Whose story has earned much fame

The heroic warrior I am talking about

Is none other than yourself I shout

You as a warrior shall rule your life

Don’t let sins and pessimism attack your life

Surround yourself and others with love and care

Try your best to eliminate despair

This gift of god shall be under control

Live to have a memorable roll
