"THE KING OF UNITY"

Nearly forty miles from east to west, in early nineteen century,

A king was born to every man, that drew a line in history;

Who would have thought his little act, would lead to title track?

What's meant to be will always be, to free all men from misery.

The king illustration personage, it reckons through history,

Because it's worth to remember, his heroic act of mutiny;

The wise king of history, who strived to shape men's destiny,

Like perfect statements in history, he builds up solidarity.

He confronted all limitations, when he saw social distortions,

His profound moral insight attracts followers from every side;

His magnetic personality, like lightening flash it spreads unity,

And all the men in history united to join the mutiny.

But as we read in history, there was a conspiracy,

Every man would not agree, about the theory of conspiracy;

He lost the fight, but his name and valour acts survived,

Till final breathe he didn't agree to be a slave of history.

Hundred years have passed; we still commemorate the past,

We always love to cherish and followed his noble path,

"Better die an independent king, than reign as the vassal"

Are the words that echoed, which would mould another king
