Flying Coffin

Any country may feel proud Of being militarily sound Having fleet of enough fighters To defend the sacred borders Russians were first to offer fighters Where others watched as onlookers Country was threatened with war All friends were staying deliberately far The aircraft was known as M.I.G For Indian air space essentially very big Challenge to enemy and her design The Russians proved as good friends and signed What ailed marvelous and formidable fighter? Poor maintenance or inferior parts with trainers It has taken heavy toll of brave pilots Such a loss without having fought a war! Country has lost many fighter aircraft in peace time Double the score in any war at any time It has earned nick name of “flying coffin” More bodies are housed and brought in It has to be given ceremonial send off It must have glorious last laugh It has served well but now enough is enough We can not afford brave pilots to cough Let the policy makers take decision The time is ticking off and losing with precision Future wars may be fought with missiles But time taken may be more with files Grave errors in judgment for not taking stock of stores Situation is turning from bad to worse Country may loose its edge over weaponry Country’s defense is holier than holy and very much necessary
