Liberty,Equality, Fraterinity



In warriors grave,
The emblems stand,
Displaying details,
Of freedom fighters,
Who gave up their lives,
For their people's rights,
They went through,
Times of continuous struggles,
Their burning desire,
Was language rights,
And equal opportunities,
For their people,
Who were denied high positions,
In the government ranks,
The brave young men,
Took up the cause of minorities,
Following the methods of Cheguevara,
They fought the good fight,
Even as suicide bombers
Now resting in their graves at,
Kopay with glory and fame.
