Soldiers On Alert Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Column was marching
Earth was dug with heels in morning
Heavy foot steps were moving one by one
It was heard from distance as one

Army life is fully disciplined
All differences are sidelined
No discrimination for cast and color
All fight for country and honor

Soldiers have food on dining table
It is served with no trouble
Sometimes with self service
Seniors with facilities and promises

One thing must be learnt
The confidence is heavily built
It is given with full credence
Nothing is left to chance

“Sweat in peace time”
“So you bleed less in war time”
Golden advice in rendered for new comers
Start from stretch for new beginners

Smart turn out from every angle
Soldiers are fit to fight even in jungles
Let it be snow clad mountains
Desert sand or plain land

Situation remains same
Eventualities to be faced if ever it came
Soldiers remain on alert
They are human being but not expert
