The Fighter With A Broken Sword Poem by LALATENDU KABI

The Fighter with a Broken Sword

A King is strong when the people are one
They love each other, not show the gun;
And stand by him for his love and care.
Such a society is the ruler's power.

But our king spreads hate and violence
He preaches communal intolerance;
Having himself broken the sword of unity
He promises to uphold our dignity.

In one hand he holds the sharpened blade
The grip is in his other hand.
Tell him to wield and join it my lord,
Our king is fighting with his broken sword
