A warrior does not need shoulder to cry

Original Submission by PRINCE SINHA

A warrior does not need shoulder to cry.

When a warrior takes entry,

Feeling the burden of pain, his mother creates history.

Face of father becomes cheery,

A warrior does not need shoulder to cry.

Although his grandparents live life in penury,

Yet motivate him to believe in fury.

Sometimes a warrior follows the path of idolatory,

A warrior does not need shoulder to cry.

In the battlefield, warrior acts like effrontery,

And feels there is fire in soul voluntary.

He fights without being weary,

A warrior does not need shoulder to cry.

When warrior faces quandary,

National flag provides shadow as perfunctory.

Mental strength is being broken but does not accept bribery,

A warrior does not need shoulder to cry.

On his death, throat becomes dry,

Schemes of all patriots including him become awry.

The earth remains stationary,

A warrior does not need shoulder to cry.
