The Border Guards
The Border Guards
To prevent, foil, counter attack
Aggressions, infiltrations, encroachments
On the explosive Ladakh border
In the worst weather conditions
Thousands of soldiers, keeping
Vigilance at the cost of
Their lives, have been deployed
While the country is busy
Nation building by serving
When the firing is constant
They do not visualize
Their kith and kin
The jaw of horrifying death
Lingering on the battle field
Like a hungry, greedy vulture
Or glance beside dying
Bloody mate bidding adieu
To the dear mother land
They don’t have the time
Enough to think why they are
Breaking the law of nature
The human beings are
Fighting, killing each other
