About Freedom

You did not die in vain….

You fought till the end…

You were lying in the trenches for days….

I was lounging at home in comfort….

You were hungry for days….

I was throwing away the leftover Pizza…..

You had gone deaf with the roar of artillery….

I was flipping channels just mildly interested in the war on the border…

You had a bullet in your arm…..

I was crying over my split nail…

You died at 26

So that I could live a full life a…….free life…

O soldier I salute you…you are my saviour…

The true patriot….

I am free because of you…

Let me not waste away your sacrifice…
