What lies behind defeat and death Radhamani sarma

 


 What lies behind defeat  and death


The  hot days with hot pellets of gunshots

fiery raging with  angered valor and   courage

to defeat  our rivals, same hot blood still

amidst us from our trench, some from the

field, blood running like water, after all

the battle field is like child’s play;

unabated  vendetta  and ill will, the same

mood of violence prevailing after fire

quenched here  and there. We  fell  to the

ground with wounds  and breath hanging 

flimsy within  the orbed wall, much to the

 fear  and suspense of fellow warriors;

sudden, dismay, some falling like dusk

not knowing what is the next step, some 

still with a will to fight adversary, we  the

lying on the floor, not knowing, not fleeing,

still with a  pride,  a feel that we fought to 

redeem the honor of our country. Victory,

real victory lies still an acceptance that

though you fell, fell   and fled , fled for a

cause of a nation, matter  of pride, not defeat.
