I am bloody civilian <br />A non-combatant personnel <br />Of Indian Navy <br />Paid from Defence estimate, <br />I kept my foot-step first <br />At the Lion gate <br />Of Naval Dockyard, Mumbai <br />As an apprentice <br />With three mates <br />When I was eighteen plus. <br /> <br />I am bloody civilian <br />Now, fifty eight years old <br />Only two years to get freedom back <br />Which has already been sold <br />During this long journey … <br />I have learnt two golden rules from navy <br />service officers are always right, <br />Civilians are fools <br />Service officers only work <br />All others are tools. <br /> <br />I am bloody civilian <br />Like the last chapter of a book <br />I don't love the navy, <br />I don't love the navy officers <br />I only love my work <br />And love my motherland <br />I work for the salary <br />That is paid into my account <br />I want to reside in such a town <br />Where white dresses are banned.<br /><br />Asit Kumar Sanyal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-bloody-civilian/
