TRUTH IS PUNGENT

TRUTH IS PUNGENT
Prof Dr Colonel K Prabhakar Rao (Retired)
Truth is pungent as ammonia gas

And many join army and turn into molassis

Many turn their head other way

While scores nod heads and happily sway

The guys reaching top in uniform slept all these days

Although they swallowed perks in hundreds of ways

Dozens of orderlies worked and toiled in their dens

While they ruined others reports using their dirty pens

These guys have no right to shed tears now

Who want to stay in front row some how

The ruined guys have lost the solace and light

The senior guys of course look to be happy and bright

These pay commission tricks would help only seniors lot

While others are thrown into a dirty shit pot

The same old story is sure to repeat

And all the guys would finally are sure to retreat

Army guys in India are at receiving end

The country’s ways they are unable to bend

The guys are happy with some tidbits thrown in

And they happily beat an empty mess tin

All is not fair with these guys

Who are floating like buoys

They swing left and rightLooking some time bright

They put on uniform for so long

Then finally became oblong

The body at the end had only bones

Although while young they were like Indiana zones

Indian army was butchered in the past

At some places they fought to the last

Nehru was sad and atlast gave up his soul

But no one had guts and shouted foul


The guy in the academy is clue less
And is ignorant what awaits him ahead
As the years roll on the guy gets rotten
devoid of thrill in life he earns his daily bread

The dynasty goes on to rule

People in elections become a fool

The same old faces are again on the screen

Although they are sick with damaged spleen

Has guys in army developed cold feet?

Although After eating tons of rations and meat

Their shouting have gone over the fence

While rank and file remained in silence

Are they waiting for the final tidbits?

Or ready to pack off with their kits

When a soldier has to fight for his dues in a land

Know that country’s future would be in deep sand

Dr K Prabhakar Rao
