This Poem By An Anonymous Indian Soldier Is Exactly What The Army Feels After #UriAttack

Every Indian felt the pain of the cowardly attack on the soldiers in Uri. Revenge was on everyone's mind. People from all walks of life voiced their opinion and wanted to teach the enemy a lesson. Someone wanted an all out attack, some wanted to isolate the enemy. Everyone got to speak their minds.

The only ones who couldn't, were the ones who suffered the most. The Indian Army. In all the noise, we all forgot about the Army. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to have a voice. So here's a poem by an anonymous soldier that tells us exactly what the army feels like right now. Read it here.

17 is a big Number¡­ I know¡­especially today¡­when we know things are not as bad¡­after all I brought them to this level¡­

I also know today we faltered¡­ there were mistakes¡­ *but I am not done yet*¡­

Possibly, I am rightly blamed of being Complacent ¡­ forgotten the basics ¡­ poor leadership¡­. and may have suffered a set back at a very crucial time ¡­ *but I am not done yet*..

The churning in the society is seriously affecting me ¡­. I am increasingly being used for political mileage ¡­ which dents my image and sometimes my confidence¡­ *but I am not done yet*¡­.

Today, thanks to the technology, everyone is an expert in *MY Domain* ¡­ so much that I sometimes suspect my own capabilities ¡­ sometimes my own blame me¡­. and some times they want to even divide us¡­ leaders and men¡­.. *but still, I am not done yet* ¡­

Because when I look in the mirror ¡­ I know I AM THE BEST ¡­

I have lost 17 of my own ¡­ but I know, ONLY I CAN HIT BACK..

We faltered and lost 17 ¡­ but only because they got lucky ¡­ how else could we have lost most to fire and not bullets ¡­ sad way for a soldier to die¡­ but yes they got lucky ¡­ or maybe we were unlucky¡­ but see how quickly we got them¡­ even after having lost 17.. *which shows ¡­ I am not done yet* ..

COMPLACENT¡­yes possibly ¡­ but it comes from confidence..confidence of being dominant¡­ so not a big issue¡­I will pull up my socks and soon give it back to those who got lucky¡­. *Even they know I am not done yet*

Forgotten the basics? Not really¡­ sometimes careless yes ¡­ but I know my basics¡­ just wait and watch¡­

In any case who else¡­ is there someone better than me? Have seen many around me¡­ *I KNOW I am the best in the world*

Poor leadership ???? Come on. .. possibly the only forces where officers lead from the front at all times¡­ you know the statistics don¡¯t you? I know there are new challenges ¡­ but we will learn ¡­ *and believe me, we learn the fastest*¡­

Society will change but our Ethos won¡¯t. . We will adapt and make the change¡­.

Believe you me¡­

I am your best bet ¡­ In fact I am your only bet¡­ *there is no one else*¡­

You may discuss¡­you may shout¡­but in your heart, you know, *I am the one you can trust*.

So leave me alone¡­let me do my job ¡­ won¡¯t let you down¡­ *BECAUSE I AM NOT DONE YET*
