The Loner of 1947

The thoughts stung like a thousand pins,
the crumbling tired old man sighed;god!
stop punishing for 'unknown' sins.
The days of compelled dependance,
in those fiery days of pre-independance,
the dashing,fiery lad ,
in gleaming weapon clad
enough to make the 'red' garissons mad,
like the cunning vicious wild cat,
he became notorious
as 'THE MOUNTAIN RAT'.
As the land got freedom in painful rounds,
his joy knew no bounds.
yet he remained on the uncertain 'BORDER',
his 'PAPERS' were not in 'ORDER'.
his health got lost;the dreams lost glitter,
for the truth is indeed too bitter.
One night,in a cold windy blast,
he at last breathed his last.
there was however no mourner,
for the loner of 1947.

Who was that man? why a freedom fighter? I'm paying a lot of attention to the date '1947'....
A freedom fighter? did you write this out of personal experience??
Please write back. |

| This man was a freedom fighter who had played a very important role in the Freedom struggle of India.But somehow his efforts got forgotton and he died unnoticed in dire poverty.This man was from the same village in which I was born. |

Well worked tale of embitterment and injustice.
I like these kinds of things - especially when they rhyme. |
