Respect to an
Army man
We start a day with an exercise to be fit for the rest of
the day
They are always fit to keep us alive
We have a choice of food, choice of dress and we have
choice to be there in the office or not
They only have no choices but to do and die
We can sit and talk democracy
But they keep the democracy alive
We see the colour of blood on reel
They see the colour of blood in real
We can see a film hero getting hurt or we can kill a villain
with a move of the joy stick
Whereas they see the their fellow soldiers getting hurt everyday
We can walk and talk by saying “what an idea sirji
There are many sirjis who only have a Radio set that says” Roger Over”
We can scold the government and stay away from the
election booth
but they need to stay in their bunkers for days on end
We dirty our fingers once in five years
Whereas their fingers remain dirty cleaning the borders
of the dirty elements
Our fight with the neighbor can come to end
But we don’t know when their fight with our neighbors
will end
We keep sending new CVs and wait for the employer’s
response
Whereas they only send letters home and eagerly wait to
see their loved ones
We read war stories
They have several stories to tell their grandchildren
We watch the war movies
Whereas they are the heroes in it
Our children are waiting for our departure
Whereas their children are waiting for their arrival
We are sitting and reading this article in the comforts
of our homes
Whereas they are braving the severe cold weather to ensure
our comforts
Let us not wait anymore to salute our heroes
We are with you
A Thankful Civilian
