Let’s salute our soldiers who protect us from perils
Unlike other beings human beings’ enemies are human beings
Most selfish being on earth
Result is rivalry and hostility No country can survive without military defence
Hence soldiers reckoned precious children of nation
Their lives pledged for the state Ever ready to sacrifice their lives Proud to be martyrs of the country Disciplined and systematic life Honest and highly patriotic
National emotions conquer domestic attachments Extreme weather never pulls them back from duties Ever vigilant day and night to make millions of their compatriots lead happy peaceful life
Hence let’s salute our soldiers who serve as our saviours
This is the last poem from my fourth poetry collection Contemporary Concerns and Beyond published by Authorspress, New Delhi in 2016.
