26/11 Heroes

This poem is about NSG commandos who sacrificed their life in 26/11 operation..

Your job is to serve our survival
But no one can say this cause is final

You are standing for us to kill or die
Next moment you may not survive

To perpetrate the ultimate traitor
You chosen to become a gunner

Your family at your home waits
But you go to the place you must vacate

You killed being part of this profession
To achieve glory of your ultimate bastion

Its who you are and what you do
With tears in our eyes we all say adieu

A nation hope rest with your courage
We suffered our deepest loss in the carnage

You are the only source to our pride
Across the darkness that looms deep and wide
