From rustling of the pages to tik-tik of the watch,
I sat calm, traveling in the past though bit fast!
From Mughals to Portuguese to Dutch & Danish,
I looked around but there wasn't a spanish!
They came, they gelled up, they traded & ruled,
Atrocities, they did and simultaneously befooled!
Then came the English, as friendly traders,
Gradually they became harmony invaders!
They looted the nation, plundered our resources,
Enslaved our peasants, killed most of the horses!
I scolded the English when I lost my cool,
they started blabbering just like a fool..!
Amid all this, someone tapped my shoulder,
Oh! he is the liabrary guard saying " Sir, time's over!"..
