I stay awake

It is time to think a little more

Can anyone keep any traces about the number of soldiers we lose everyday and every moment?  They are the heroes who are selflessly sacrificing their lives in the terms of duty and to serve the nation for its safety and protection. They too have families like us, they too have parents who seek them beside their end of life, and they too have their children who want their fathers to drop them at schools or hold the fingers to walk. But they sacrifice these all instincts just for the sake of us. We find pictures of politicians or any other terrorists for several continuous days if they make some unusual news, but how many pictures do we get to see of the soldiers who just breathed for the last time yesterday or the day before yesterday or the last month or in the past years? Can we remember their names too? NO… It is a big NO. It is shameful for the country residents like us, like me to write or read about this. Isn’t it thoughtful? But still they STAY AWAKE

Miles and Miles I run,

I walk, I stand 

and yes the civil fun,

I abandon ...

When others sleep and dream deep,

I hold my promises to keep.

I stay awake

at the silent border of untold history

to unfold mystery ... 

Hours and Hours I stand still,

when the Nation celebrates the festivals 

I fight with the heavy metallic gun

and hundred of risks I kill ...

Time to Time I die,

but I never feel to cry

nor feel to shed a drop of tear,

Because I never learned to fear

Rather 

I feel proud to serve better

for my nation 

and to accomplish a mission ...

I might die and leave my shell of soul

but I know I will be awake

within thousands of soldiers spiritual force

The nation might forget me 

and people might never talk about me

but I know I will be awake

and I will stand still

beneath those millions of flowers

at one of those WAR MEMORIALS

ON THIS ARMY DAY MY HEARTIEST GRATITUDE TOWARDS ALL ARMY PERSONNELS AND ALL VETERANS.
