For the Khalsa Soldiers I have served with …. An ode, based on my personal experiences.
The SIKH
-Neil John-
I have served with men, served with the valiant and the quintessential soldier in peace and war,
But to be forthright and candid, have never seen raw courage like that of a Sikh, the best by far,
It’s as if he fears no death, neither does he think twice while charging the fence with a roar,
You should witness the sight, when his shiny bayonet is covered with blood, all crimson and gore,
He will take you to battle, fight with you, oft lead the way,
Even when the odds are against you, he will still make the enemy heavily pay,
While without his uniform and weapon, he will look all innocent, gullible and sometimes a fool,
Do not mistake this machine of victory, cause he won’t bat an eye lid, before killing and yet be seemingly cool,
Deeply religious, with belief in his gurus and the teachings of his saint,
The SIKH … is who I would go to battle with, an honour and confidence, a worthy picture on canvas to paint,
“वाहेगुरु जी का खालसा, वाहेगुरु जी की फ़तेह” you can hear him chant as he picks up his sword, valiant and strong,
I can see even the skies tremble … cause these men, honour their nation and their gods, till they are at the borders, be rest assured, nothing will ever go wrong.
