A Soldier View

I am a soldier born to serve my nation; 
I serve my motherland with full dedication. 
I don’t know what are intolerance and discrimination; 
I guard the borders so that you can sleep without any hesitation.
I don’t do this in the name of any race, creed, or religion, any differentiation; 
I am only to serve my country with full determination. 
I feel proud even to die for my great nation; 
Thinking of dying for my country gives me immense satisfaction. 
I don’t want to be in headlines or in discussions on any primetime news; 
I want my fellow citizens to be broad-minded without any narrow views. 
I may even die tomorrow knowing nobody can take my place in my family, 
But if I don’t get ready to die, nobody can ever enjoy his independence freely.
