The Vijayanagar Empire

by Vikram G Aarella

The brothers were breathing fire,
With their hearts full of desire
They built the greatest Hindu empire,
Which, the whole world would admire.

Kingdom of peace and heaven, the plan
Put forth by a learned man
Carried out by brothers of the Kuruba clan,
Empire, was built within a short span.

People as brave as they were
Fought their enemies without fear
Till peace was brought to Vijayanagar
The 'City of Victory', as they called her.

Her enemies were torn apart,
Peninsular India in its chart
She lived in peoples heart,
The golden age was about to start.

The city was full of diamonds and gold
In the bazaars and streets they were sold,
Might of the empire began to unfold
Nobody could keep it on hold.

The legend spread far and wide
Like a mighty colossal tide.
Now, long gone is the empire of pride
Changing history, for us to abide.
