In the wake of his honor
In the sake of his name
A candle they lit
And conveniently passed the blame
Years of sacrifice
Countless nights in the reprise
Blood, sweat, and tears he shed
And the silent cries
Which no one heard
But only his parents
It still resonates with them
Somewhere deep and inherent
Let’s pass the buck now
For the time is right
In his last moments of duty
He clung to his pride
Known to our deceit
And every reason we chose to cheat
He was a warrior of his fate
Too firm on his beliefs
His worry was not what he faced
But the hollow hearts he left behind
His love for his land was such
Unmatched to yours and mine
He doesn’t deserve this gloom today
It’s a celebration of his spirit as he would always say
The bullet he faced for us with a smile
Is the difference between his yesterday and our today.
Very true! Their contribution is priceless. How selfish we people are! We even do politics on their sacrifice too.
It’s true and sad at the same time Deepika. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
True, the martyrs love and sacrifices for the motherland is unmatched to the rest of us. So, let’s light up our heart and soul for their selfless duties to pay some respect to them instead of merely marching with candles in our hands!
Thanks for resonating with my thoughts Rashmi 🙂 .
