A Nation's Strength


Posted on 22nd Jun 2020 03:58 pm by rohit kumar

What makes a nation's pillars high

And its foundations strong?

What makes it mighty to defy

The foes that round it throng?

 

It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand

Go down in battle shock;

Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,

Not on abiding rock.

 

Is it the sword? Ask the red dust

Of empires passed away;

The blood has turned their stones to rust,

Their glory to decay.

 

Brave men who work while others sleep,

Who dare while others fly...

They build a nation's pillars deep

And lift them to the sky.
