This Uniform is stitched with honour
thread by thread,
Not meant to fill towns with dread
This uniform is for love ,peace and security
Not meant to frighten those it guards
It’s worn to shield, to stand between the innocent and the unseen.


Wear it to safeguard homes and clear the skies
Not to abuse , nor to oppress
But to uphold and redress
So walk the path with careful tread ,
for in this uniform , much is said .

Don’t let the privilege of this uniform make you think otherwise
You are not extraterrestrials or some hardwired robots
You are still vulnerable men in camouflage
with offsprings and ancestors

This uniform belongs to no political entity
But to the country’s integrity and it’s sovereignty
This uniform must let the citizens face a whining government
This uniform must not be a government’s personalised property .

This uniform loses value when worn for inappropriate purposes.
