Full military honor



Humanity cried over the death
Of soldier who lastly breathed
With bare body on ground and head taken away
Reminded of brutality as days simply pass the way

Simple murder in peace time in forward picket
Soldiers patrol the areas but do not attack
No shooting orders even if intruded unintentionally
This incidence has infuriated public opinion nationally

Why such atrocities and incitement when people enjoy peace?
Why do they want reprisals and more deaths to please?
Fanatics and hard criminals when their own land is blood soaked
Few hundred deaths at their door step will not be joke!

The north area has remained blood thirsty from the beginning
There is something wrong with the people and their living
Worst crimes and unheard brutalities come occasionally on surface
Whether it is on uniform people, ladies or aged people in such cases

It was calculated move and deliberate killing
The soldier was beheaded and body was bleeding
Great celebration in their army campus over head's capture
Any one can think about fate of nation, its people and future?

Continuous terrorist attacks form their national policy
Not a single opportunity is missed sans hostility
Death bodies in their areas remain unaccounted when they suffer
Yet no sense prevails for peace to take place and offer

The soldier at home is consigned to flames without head
The head was taken as mark of victory over dead
Never in the army history, has such brutality taken place
It is serious black spot on humanity face

Country has no answer for it accept to take revenge
Scores of innocent people may die if death is avenged
No civilian government can afford such hasty measure
The body of brave soldier has to rest with full military honor
