Forerunners on the field of struggle
Birthing freedom willingly or smuggled.
Their comradeships ain’t infantry nor half done
Their comradeships ain’t fake nor still born.
They’re dogged and unflinchingly gallant,
Rugged alutaists and are firmly vibrant.
They’re the vindicated legendary heroes of our time
They’re sons of the soil to reap victoria at its prime.
Servants with leadership prowess
Offering all prospects of success
Just as diamond reflects it’s beauty
When viewed from different angles,
Shinning on every side of one’s Life;
As the Daylight breaks forth the day –
Beaming in radiance like a new wife.
