The Second Prime Minister 

On the 2nd of October two legends were born,

Unfortunately one was completely forgotten.

On the 9th of June, however he had sworn,

To the country where he was begotten.

A leader, true, smart and brave,

The country comes to life with him.

However, the Indo- Pak war turned out grave,

Everything in the country was again dim.

After fighting for hours and days,

The grave war came to an end.

In September, India having the final say,

As India won it, the war came to an end.

Peace was to be maintained everywhere,

So, the decision to sign a Treaty was made,

Things went wrong at Tashkent when he was there,

His breath, heartbeat and life about to fade.

He was no more.

Not much is known of his death.

Since more than 50 years it is a mystery.

How did the great leader lose his life?

Who killed Lal Bahadur Shastri?
