SOLDIER

What is your name?

What is your language?

What is your religion?

What is your region?

Who are you?

What are you?

Why are you?

Asked me the crowd!

As I was different.

With smile on face

Intensity in eyes

Power in body

Confidence in approach

And, dare devil to face any challenges

But polite in manners

Reply, silent and stern

I am the SOLDIER

Whose name is nation

Whose language is love

Whose region is the country

Whose religion is humanity.

I am the son or the daughter of this land

I am here for you

As a symbol of Unity in Diversity.

I am the SOLDIER.
