A Soldier and a Gentleman

" live by chance
love by choice
kill by profession

In case,
I die in the battle zone
Box me up n send me home
Pin those medals up my chest
Tell my mom i did my best
Sweetheart you wouldnt cry
Soldier i was; born to die"


he felt a bullet whiz past his ear.Darn!one moment of carelessness nearly cost him his life!he wiped the sweat off his forehead and moved on stealthily along the corridor.At that moment his heart skipped a beat-his friend was lying dead on the floor battered with bullets.not now,he told himself fighting back tears,there will be time for grief later.there are people to be saved,a country to be served.now is not the time to cry.just a time to kill.he moved his friend's body to somewhere safe...well as safe as could possibly be,so that further bullets do not insult his martyrdom.


He emerged from the ruins.the media rushed forward to convey the nation's gratitude.he flashed a smile looked with tired eyes into the camera and modestly replied "yeh toh hamara farz tha!"

He sat back on his way home and let the tears fall.
