Rhyme Time
Life’s exam

God is a great examiner

We all are students in his class

Our life is an answer book

To write down our answers

The world is an examination hall

We assemble here to sit

The time allowed is 3 hours

The first hour of exam is childhood

The second hour is the age of youth

And the final hour is the old age

The final call given by God is the end of examination

Our answerbooks are snatched away and life comes to an end
So, do something good in this exam

This is my country India

Independent, secular, democratic

Possessing of a rich diverse culture

Gifted as a treasure historic

In the century number seventeen,

Established here a British company

After winning the Battle of Plassey

Treating every Indian like a doggy

But until the year of 1857

Indians showed much tolerance

The break the the Hindu-Muslim unity

The British used divide and rule policy

But it was only Hume’s Congress

That revived Hindu-Muslim unity

Then after the World War I

Fostered were nationalistic ideas by Bhagat Singh and Gandhi

The nation followed their footprints

To liberate our country by Civil Disobedience and Dandi

Emerged there, Bose with his INA

Common were movements like Satyagraha and Swadeshi

Such was the bravery and sound of India

That rushed away every ‘Firangee’

But the Queen didn’t leave quietly

And cracked away our country India,

Into India and Pakistan,

To fight forever Kashmir’s boundary.
