A day to be grieved

Today is martyr’s day and to be grieved in Flowers to be laid and few words to be written “Your immortals stay hereto remind us of sacrifice” To live up to expectations as pledged with promises It has remained on paper and mere symbolic Still eyes become wet with very strong logic What did they do to serve the motherland? To create a safe and prosperous wonderland We may have no time to offer any gratitude As it has been affected by changed attitude Still they deserve for some kind of holy homage Their names are to be written with golden ink on page We are dedicated and sensible people with all awareness Neatly bonded together with all diversity in fineness Not differentiating anything between cast, creed and religion Even though we might have been inclined to some of the legions Today the priority and preference has been changed They have become show of strength and stage managed Real feeling and due respect is there but with little significance It has remained mere symbolism but with more importance It is not that the love for motherland is on wane It is also not felt at any stage that the attachment has gone We feel not secured in our home and homeland We stand helplessly to offer our homage and garland The ugly face of terrorism is developed as new brand Simple way of creating disturbances on ground Whether allegiance or no allegiance is found But such trend is temporarily gaining ground No one is secured in temple, mosque or among public We proudly claim to have inherited the state as republic Might not have been liked by extremists as ideal path So the bodies lay around on road in the pool of blood bath We still garland our brave soldiers and civilians They have preserved the tradition of smartens Where the laying of life comes in the course of duty They have laid it down for the perseverance of integrity Few disgruntled acts may not weaken our spirit We have earned it with great sacrifice and enduring limit It will not be allowed to wither away for silly cause Even with thousand more sacrifices we shall not be made to pause Let us be not carried away by silly arguments To preserve spirit at heart it self is great movement Let us lay a wreath with dedication and pledge We have strong resolve with clear edge
