The Power of Love, Literacy and Faith

Once upon a time there was a palace over a secluded hill

Where lived an Indian blooded ‘Rani’ (Queen) with an inky will

Equipped and armed with a resourceful screen

With the might of her pen, for revolution she would melodiously scream

Each time the ordinary would look up to the hill and see

The flames in her bosom passionately rising to create history

The lushest of Kings from neighbouring lands

Chose to ride for eons to witness the miracles of her resourceful hands

With faith and light, she ruled from land to shore

Glitches out of their virginity; all nipped to the core

Against all bitterness her love spread like the chimes of the Big Ben

To save rebellious souls, she would walk unarmed in to any lion’s den

The Savage, many times would plot for her 'Raj' (kingdom) to crumble away

Not possible! For this Royal tigress each night would humbly kneel and pray.
