Museums
of the World
Often in major cities of the world
We found museums adorned with King's
Possessions, dining and drawing rooms,
Glimpses of extravagant opulence
Expensive gifts
received by them
We see conventional weapons of war
Spears, swords, guns, daggers,
Iron Helmets, iron-guard Armor
And inhuman devices to torture dissidents

Also on display are
beautiful paintings,
Their sojourns, their linage, their warriors
Puffed animal and their hanging heads like trophies
Pictures of the helpless people looking towards them
Sometimes we also see statues of warriors in city squares
Inspiring the younger generation to becomes warriors

Statues of soldiers
who protects borders,
Are they the only soldiers ?
Are they the only soldiers ?
Should we salute only
them?
But have never seen
museums of the real people
Who had preserved their culture and values
Who fight so many small battles everyday
Sometime at home, sometimes in offices,
Sometimes in relationship and
Sometime because of relationship
Who had preserved their culture and values
Who fight so many small battles everyday
Sometime at home, sometimes in offices,
Sometimes in relationship and
Sometime because of relationship
They are part of the big army of soldiers who
In time of need, would protect the country's
Civilization, literature, culture and identities
Because a society is build by everyone and not
Only by Kings and Warriors alone
We should have more Museums of
The common men, their daily struggles and their
Victories over obstacles everywhere
To honour them and
their daily struggles
