For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Remembering the Tank Battle of Chawinda ~
This week POETS UNITED takes up a striking writing motif of Public Protest and History combined.
My experiences reveal that Protests always begin in a peaceful state but later end up in violence.If Protests are for the Basic Rights then the struggle must continue till success.Then in comes determination and a profound spirit of sacrifice.
Independence gained at a huge cost of human sacrifice must be defended protected and preserved.When the time comes the nation stands up to the demands and so the Midweek Motif gives the writer an opportunity to honor the Brave as the Chinese Patriot steadfast in front of the tank.
The Battle of Chawinda was a part of the Sialkot Campaign in the War of 1965.
It was one of the largest tank battles in history since the Battle of Kursk in World War II. Wikipedia.
For Freedom
When peaceful protest fails
and protesters are put in jails
then forces must stand
bravely to defend the land-
In Attack
outnumbered ten to one
crawled under enemy tank
martyred to glory sank in
body blood in native sand
In loyalty
you saved the land
blasting enemy tanks
with bravery supreme
grenades in hands
In honor
you remain for ever you live
those who die a life they give
and repel the enemy aggressive.
And now I say and know
battles have been fought
public protests prevail
as Freedom must be saved
at all cost-
For
In Freedom There is Fear
When close and dear
one, is no more,
In Freedom there is Blood
When All you made in life
Is washed away in flood
In freedom there is sacrifice
When all you claim and own
Is taken away without a price;
In freedom there is Liberty
For many just a statue
All fights, no rights, nor equality
In Freedom there are letters
promises and false hopes
as soon you are in iron fetters;
In Freedom I was born
I never saw my land
I long for its beauty
In dewdrops shining
In the morn-
In Freedom there is a gift
treasure not and you find
it floating by and adrift;
In Freedom there is love
peace and harmony
Hold it strong
with the rope above;
