He walked to the gallows, <br />without a mark of anxiety, <br />firmly and cheerfully as if was <br />destined to sacrifice his life <br />He smiled when the cap, <br />was drawn over his head! <br />Though failed mission, <br />he was the first torch-bearer, <br />of Fiery-age of Indian-freedom-movement. <br />At that age of eighteen, <br />when boys beguile time in <br />day-dreaming, thinking of career, <br />he took pistol in his hand, <br />to liberate mother-land from, <br />The tyrants' clutch! <br />But, mistakenly, he and <br />Prafulla Chaki, ended two, <br />Innocent lives! ....... <br />Chaki took his own life, <br />And Khudiram, the chained lion, <br />did not bow his head. <br />He was sentenced to, <br />death, and hanged on <br />eleventh August,1908. <br />The First martyr among <br />the revolutionaries he <br />became and gave birth to <br />hundreds of Khudirams, <br />In the then Bangladesh! <br />History wrote his and, <br />Prafulla Chaki's name, <br />In golden letters....... <br />None could wipe it out!<br /><br />Neela Nath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tribute-to-khudiram-bose-the-first-martyr-of-armed-freedom-movement/
