Lost Soldier

Theme
It is meant to express the pain that a soldier undergoes when illusions falls apart.
Write about honour and its changing values
How fellow men vie soldiers now
Lack of purpose and the lost cause
The respect that has withered
Love that is lost
...............................................................
My mettle hath lost its sheen
That stint of esteem no more seen
Patriotism sacrifice all essence lost
I just trade my life for a cost

My countrymen no more with awe admire
Slowly grows within dissent, a silent ire
For many I fleece their hard earned money,
Gobble up taxes burden the economy

No maid fair care to caress
Brazen heart has lost its duress
For whom I fight and for whom I die
Care not ask for a moment why

Is that I who stares from the mirror?
Blood smeared torn withered
Alas Flesh has survived but soul is lost
The very reason for what I fought

Shayari/ Gazals

नज़र चुराते देखा उसे तो यकीं हुआ ,  वोह भी देखता है हमें   जल गयी बस्ती मेरी, धुआं उसके घर में भी है   थोड़ा काम ही  सही मगर,  वोह भी चाहता है...
