"Warriors" - A Poem By Nitheesha Reddy, BA II Year

Picture Credit : Special Arrangement 

For us, they were at the border,

Who never broke their orders,

And were always ready to sacrifice their life,

So that we can live a safe life.

We always found them in olive green,

And assumed as if it was their skin,

They never knew the difference between day and night,

As they were always ready to face a fight.

They gave our country, a surety of life,

And remained unaware of their own life.

We celebrated festivals with our family,

And their celebration was seeing their family.

Lights and crackers are part of our Diwali,

And firing guns became a part of their Diwali.

While we play with different colours on holi,

They have red as the sign of pure love for the country.
