PART I

Rachkonda is an old hill fort
That lies in utter ruins today
No trace of the past glory is left now
Although it flourished in its heyday

It has disappeared into pages of history
With no trace of glory left to feel proud
The kings although some were brave
Some guys also had evil brains under thick cloud

The kings of this land are of Velama caste
And were once the commanders with Kakateeya Kings
They were busy playing caste gimmicks and politics
As a result finally their king lost the empire and was out of the ring

Pratapa Rudra was the valiant Kakateeya king
He ruled at the famous Warangal fortress
He courageously fought the raids of Tughlaq the Delhi Sultan
But finally lost and was caught in great distress
