MEN IN UNIFORM.
Not banished from home
But stays away from family
All in the course of serving our motherland
After signing their death warrant 
They match to war fronts
Willingly offering themselves to Mr Death
Feasting themselves to wars
One after the other
They embrace the warm bullets as hugs
Welcome the hot hungry bombs like good friends
Accompany the missiles to achieve its aim on them
Roasted like barbecue
Now eaten up by war brutally
Lost a leg, hand or an eye
When they depart this world
Their cold bodies are dragged on the rough earth
Contempt burial is what is served to them
Their families now wallow in abject penury
Their compensation is swallowed by the top men
Years of sacrifice was in vain
Heroic deeds are not noted
But turned a blind eye to it.
