I am a
soldier,
Do you know
me Mr. Human right?
I guard the
borders,
So you can
sleep in night,
I am not
trigger happy,
And I too
don’t want the fight.
I patrol the
barbed fences,
Do you think
I do it for myself?
If I needed
to be safe,
I would be
hiding like you as well,
So why do I
risk my life?
Mr. Human
right, will you please tell?
I too have a
family,
Are you
aware they exist?
Why do you
only see the rights?
Of
murderers, rapists and terrorists,
Why don’t
you ever speak for me?
Truth, it
seems, you love to resist.
Do you not
speak of me?
Because it
won’t get you known,
Why in the
name of humanity?
Why only
hypocrisy is shown?
It is my
blood that irrigates remember,
The seeds of
democracy you’ve sown.
Mr. Human
right will you,
For once be
a human being,
When the
enemy takes away my head,
For my
rights, will you scream?
I know it is
a question vain,
But Mr.
Human right, will you ever feel?
indeed touched da soul....
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Lt. Saurabh Kalia. Shame on India for having still not been able to deliver justice. Worse is that his post mortem report is still being kept under wraps.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely touching and very very true
ReplyDeleteit is shame that Human Rights talk about every criminal and their rights, discuss age of rapists and advocate softness if they are juvenile though their crime may be heinous of highest category ( juvenile from no point ) ,....they talk about terrorists and murderers but never bother to talk about our soldiers, honest police officers and dedicated doctors working on border security, sensitive areas and emergencies.
Hypocrisy at it's best !!!
well written !
