Forbidden Tales Of The British Raj

Some tales are forgotten.
Because they are not about love.
Or bravery.
Or heroism.

Some tales are forbidden.
And only passed down to generations.
By lip and tongue.

Some tales are forbidden.
Because they are of ordinary people
With ordinary lives.
And ordinary expectaions.
And ordinary ends.

Some tales are forbidden.
Because they speak.
Of what ordinary humans can be.
In extraordinary dilemmas.
Of what extraordinary feats.
Ordinary people can unfold.
Towards the things they live by.
