Those Who Die Young

Those who die young

will always remain in

people's hearts as

forever young.

You are one of them 

for eternity, you will be

only twenty-five years old.

never growing old!

You shed your blood

for the ideology you

believed in, for the injustice

you fought.

You dreamed of a new nation

with no division between

people. Where all will be the same

no caste, no religion no

social barriers.

The elements which opposed

your views gathered, plotted

and executed a 

ghastly action.

you shined brightly and

that brightness blinded

them. They raged in anger,

as they could not tolerate

your popularity 

Those who eliminated

you, went into oblivion.

no one remembers them.

But 

You will always stay

in people's hearts.

your brightness illuminates

the path they walk along.

giving them hope, encouragement

and the courage.

George Reddy is not a name.

it's a force that leads people,

make them fall in love!

admire unconditionally

the man, who was known

by that name.

Jeena hai toh marna seekho'

the saying which you made

popular defines your life.

even though dead 

you are living

Forever.
