Occurred accidentally, totally unexpected,

Uncertain, untold and unbelievable

. unavoidable took away with her

thirteen jewels, gems of precious stones

those were adorning and shining on necklace.

 They were strong hold of the Nation,

backbone of the country,

standing behind millions of mass

supporters of the weak and downtrodden           

saviors of the country ,killer of the enemies.

They have extended hands of support

 for the poor and field of the empty belly,

feed the starved once at the time of calamities

 at the juncture of war or attack of enemies.

They were the defender and protector of the country,

 kept safety behind the people,

under the sealed and covered armoured structure.

Nobody has thought soon they will 

vanish out from the sight and say good bye to all 

bidding farewell and adieu

disheartening and keeping distress

familes, friends and of the millions of  men

around the nation, silenced them. .

Tranquility prevailed in the atomsphere 

wind stopped its flow, fluttering of  the birds

sitting sadly on their branches,

 mourned sobbed with tears, heads bowed down

,lights went out from the houses

cries of the wife, children and parents 

and even the near and dear once, 

shocked everyone those who listened.

Bullets were fired on to the sky,

guns were shut down, flags covered,

  wreaths on the bodies of the victims,

bouquets and garlands flooded

on the bodies, covered with white shawls

petals of flowers showered by the citizens

 as tokens of  tribute, love and affection,

the last glimpses, burnt out,

 fire engulfed the bodies kept on funeral

curling  smoke filled and covered the sky.

(A tribute to CDS, General Vipin Rawat and the soldiers died on the Helicopter Massacre)
