Watching The Sunset Brighten



We are not ashamed of our soldiers,
The legends, our men who stood at the war front,
We are not afraid to say they failed,
But we are proud to say they fell, but again stood once more.

Our sweat, their sweat were not oozed out in vain,
The blood that blurred the beauty of the battlefield,
Was not a mention of sorrow but a sign of legacy,
We salute those who lost their lives in the struggle.

It was not a wrestle against cattle rustlers, not even ethnicity,
Nor was it a battle that only soldiers end up in the battlefield,
It was a battle that each and every one of us must face,
To fight against ignorance, stupidity, childishness and other vices

The journey that began with a step is winding into the horizon,
The edge where the clouds in the sky touch the earth,
Where the silence is so loud, may our legends’ souls rest in peace,
And for the rest of us, success is like watching the sunset brighten…
