A Soldier

The mother torn in cruel fate
cursing destiny
Her bleeding womb
staining motherhood..
Her lullabies
reduced to barren ashes..

Scalding tears flowing from her soul...
The grief of a hapless father...
The lump in his throat bursting
with thunderstorms to flood his heart....

The music of life drained away forever.
The wailing of the soul mate
heart broken in the jolt unexpected..
Dreams and aspirations crushed ere blossoming...

Nightmares to haunther sleep now..
The innocent tot -a pawnin life's game... Thorns strewn in her path early.
The bud lone and solitary...
Fate smirking with the madness of cruelty...

Various roles left incomplete.
As he went to answer that call of duty..
His doom he foresaw....
but his motherland his priority!

Striding forward to wrestle his homeland from the clutches of fiends many
A soldier to the last breath...
A martyr he never feared to be..!

Their sleepless nights with watchful eyes rocking us with dreams pleasant....
Indebted we are to these noble souls
forgotten behind the curtain of time...
Nameless, their shrouds painted with the tricolour!
