Ashoka

The name used to give a fear down their spine

he conquered it all

kingdoms both big and small

His name was Ashoka

This ruthless monarch underwent a change of heart

His ruthless conquests rising his power , but

bathed in blood

post his disastrous victory in the

cold blooded war of Kalinga

His days were then lost in thought

Getting nightmares about the war,

Bloodshed all around

He decided to take Buddhism as a new religion.

He build stupas and embraced dharma all around.

This rulers courageous lions became an emblem, and

gave a sense of nationality.

He was Ashoka!!!!
