Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men
stand ready to do violence on their behalf-George Orwell
Soldier I sleep peacefully
Because you are awake
You savor bullets at war
And I swallow plum cake.
You dare the desert storm
And you dare the frost bite
As I picnic with my children
Teach them to fly their kite.
Some day when you are shot
Your soul sighs in fulfillment
Earth embraces your body
And skeleton as reinforcement. - Vasant Khisty
We normally don’t realize that most of enjoy our lives in the comfort of our homes when brave men fight the snow storms, the desert storms and bomb shells at the border. Even when they die their skeletons are strong enough to reinforce the earth like structural steel reinforces the concrete
