Far Cry

Alina Moneeb Shaha 2012 (Karachi)

Siren blared!
Thudding boots march
A siege of gallants flood
Plip Plop, comes down the blood
Bang, burst, whiz worst
Their sweat quenches their thirst
So strong So stiff
Steadfast as if a cliff
A proud chest embellished
A countenance like a deadpan
A heart of a gentleman
In line of duty the relinquish
What they got, what they wish
From war cry to cessation
Serve these marvels of nation
