THE GORKHAS.


Wars fought for glory

Lives lost for territory

Burnt houses all around

Silence breaks as the canon sounds

Only pain and suffering all around and 

peace is nowhere to be found.


They march on the distant lands,

shedding foreign bloods they charge.

Many lost their sons, 

many lost their brothers.

Fighting wars from one country to another

leaving footprints as they leave this world forever.


Their Bravery is widely feared

with loyalty that runs deep within.

A khukuri that gives them power and pride, 

Alas! for what a hefty price

A son of the soil who battled for another, 

A mass sacrifice still unjustified.

 

Corpses lying everywhere. 

death is just another phase of life.

and when the evening sun soaks their blood 

A prayer for the memory of the lost ones.


The world remembers their stories of gallant 

Their valor flows like a flood

Is it only violence what they can offer ?

is this repute the hefty price!

A gorkha's fire depicted with violence

The brave bhadur, a pawn, manipulated to win wars.
