Valour(Shaurya)

Everyday a few wake up from their slumber,

Wondering the value that life holds for them,
Some do understand their roles,
While some choose to stay asleep. 

The souls that are their to protect us, 
Irrespective of what caste, creed, colour or religion we belong to, 
Never have they seen their faces ever before,
Put their lives on the line for us, 

Is this the valour that they talk about?
What about those who use their authority, 
Just to bring control to a troubled city, 
With peace and brotherhood being the epitome of progress. 

The ones who use brute force and disregard the very foundation of a nation, 
Only to bring in a life which is disciplined, 
With only fear dripping down the eyes of the innocent, 
Looking into their eyes and getting lost in the darkness that it hides. 

This is valour for some and dictatorial for the rest, 
Wiping the innocence away from the lives of the people, 
The uniform which they wear has an insignia of their being, 
Bringing havoc upon those who don't fear. 

They think it is valour that they fear them, 
While the reality is them fearing the demon that wears them. 
Valour is not just protecting people, 
It is the spirit inside the man that can do anything to protect those who can't protect themselves.Even fight his own. 
This is Valour, This is Shaurya.
