    Soldier's Scroll

    In the land of sand and oil,

    Fleet of soldiers assemble.

    In the land of turmoil,

    he’s companion is his faithful rifle.


    In a place thunders no longer rumble,

    Is where he settles.

    Moon no longer lights the night,

    But fire illuminates the sky.

     
    In his  scroll sadness  is  found,

    Hurting for the  lose of  innocent lives .

    Whimpering in his bedside,

    Wishing he will no longer cry.

     

    Lonely days he writes in his scroll,

    Sitting alone in a deserted pasture.

    Ailing and longing  to go back home,

    For a peaceful place where he truly belongs.

    Jammaekas - This is a very powerful and emotional poem. A tribute to those who, though injured, fought for their country and way of life. The longing for peace, of the mind, soul and home are all tangible. Great job!

    Thanks Kageno:)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
