Months pass by and the daily routine does not leave even a moment to reflect upon your own life, the family, the society and the country. The governments are running on their own and only Almighty can tell how this country is still a sovereign state in terms of the factors like a boundary, a flag, a currency, a people of its own. Yet some incidents wake you up and make you take a look at the activities of those who are responsible for existence of this nation, both at the front and in front of you. Here is a small pick from the current news making the spool on our TV screens......

At the border, five brave men laid their lives,

Leaving behind stunned children and widowed wives;

Rulers of the nation could not care less,

One needn’t be on the front to perpetrate this mess.

Worry not you the rich, blue and brash at the jaunts,

It’s the poor and disciplined sepoy whom death haunts;

You know you will grow-up to be the one making the rule,

Millions are there, trained to be slain at a swing of the rule.

We can couch on sofas surfing net and naughty portals,

To die on the borders, there are many lesser mortals;

Send a cheque from public money with a minister,

To show-off sympathy, hiding the political intents so sinister.

Goons can become Lords of Houses by grace of elections,

Only fools like Durga and Raghunandan face the selections;

When a nation is ruled by puppets and clowns,
Youth and talent is bound to be massacred like pawns.

Durga - the suspended IAS who dared the sand mafia.
Raghunandan - one of the five slain Indian Army soldiers.
