Horse Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Horses once a pride and joy
Trained and used for travel
Where the elites opted for horse
For their needs of travel in distance.

Horse once the pride of collections
War horse the kings well maintained.
The stable, food, massaging they gave
Just like the most trusted friend.

Horses the great ones saved the masters
From their enemies in battle field
So much stories of horses like fairy tales
Grandma stories, and stories from elder ones.

Horses, the famous war horses nice their names
The so called stories of saving its master
In the war field when the situation warranted
They acted upon the order risking the life.

Stories of great speed and actions of horses,
Horses used as a great help for warfare
The speed, decision, loyalty, supreme
But horses are sidelined in this era of conflicts
Where tanks, and vehicles, helicopters for wars.

Horses are tamed by the ancestors in difficult
They became best of friends humans believed
But horses are rare nowadays in towns
The best of ones are for ceremonial parades.
