Patriotic Poems

 

Poem Title 1:  Rani Velu Nachiyar

 

The Power Queen of Sivaganga,

flowed her valour like River Ganga

Veera Mangai of South India

First Queen to wage war against British India

Ali’s Army, Feudal Lords,

Maruthu brothers, Dalit Commanders

supporting Nachiyar

with un-scattering loyalty

 training to end the common enemy

Boundless agony on tragic ends

unrelenting sacrifices till the end

Udayaal stood the spirit of the Queen

Raising the bar of the army

Loyalty and unflinching faith

Rani Velu Nachiyar

is the Name of Courage,

Nerves tightening the blood

surging her head in pride

As she reckoned to kill

as fitting reward to treasons

1780- The year marked in bold

epoch making battle of the queen

with the fully armoured British

To re-establish her land and soil

for her and her own people

The ebb and Flow of life

A Woman, A Warrior and

A Mighty Queen Called Velu Nachiyar

survived surpassing all the hurdles

Wins the destiny

Etched her name in the History

Of Mother India

As the Valiant Power Woman

remained from south of India

Called

Rani Velu Nachiyar!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poem Title 2:  Alluri Sita Rama Raju

 

The name that brought fear

with the terror in his eyes

and the valour in his arms

Rama Raju, the Telugu Son

A National Revolutionary

With wisdom, pride, and courage

Saving his traditional forms of agriculture

taking over non-traditional guerrilla wars

Mustering the forces of tribals

As the Hero of the jungles

British thirst to quench the rebellion

unstopped manhunts chasing Raju

He left behind his lady love Sita

to embrace sacrifices to his first love India

familiar with the struggles of his Nation

The sounds of his fierce horse rides

leaving behind spiritual tutelages

sent shrills down the spines of British

Messiah, the tribals called him

The Charisma that influenced many

Educating the people of their rights

And engaging in fearless fights

touring the deadly forest terrains

taking a control of geographical plains

A rebel, truly honest to his land

Martyred tied to a tree blind

People cried beating drums

singing songs in their hero’s praise

Bows, Arrows and Spears

Continued the movement he began!

Heroes like Rama Raju do not die!!!

They live in every miniscule soil

Liberated, Free, and rightfully owned

Homages paid to the bravery and scarified

A life short- but well lived

As the one and only Alluri Sita Rama Raju!!!

The Gallant Son of Andhra Pradesh
