A Soldier’s heart

 My road to destiny

Took me to the boundaries

Where the songs are played

By the rifles guns and cannons

I detached from my mother

To protect my motherland

And my many siblings face unknown

The former shrink with the pain in her womb

But I was determined not to return

I encountered the bullets and arrows

As if you are throwing those flower petals at me

As you used to do it when it’s only us

Your face distracted my aim

But I clenched down every temptations

Your image mirrored on the full moon

And that brightens my struggling heart

Your fairy smile sooths my wounds

I wished to hear you sound or
just to recollect the memory of it

But the chaos never let it reach me

The cries, roars and shouts of

Human robots falling dead on the earth

I sacrificed my thirst, my hunger

Ensuring no trouble while you dine

I stayed untidy, on my limbs for days and months

Expecting attacks from all corners
I feel happy for being unsafe

Knowing nothing can shield me completely

But still content, for I am right many ways

I find solace in here, in this hood

Where my feelings danced to entertain me…
