unsung heroes

Your future hangs
on a seamless lines of hopes
to make up for the torrid
love affair of morning and night
of a dream that seems to dwell
on all your sorrows
on a life you wish you had
up until now.


Your child that has yet to be born
on a future of uncertainties
you built your strength
on their hopes that their years
will count for generations
unlike you..
it has to end right here
among the shadows of
torment and hopelessness
in a foreign land
where you haven't even have a clue
on how they spell, write and say
"i love you".


But you knew, as you were
facing the front lines
of whose sides you would stand on
their truth or yours, like
it makes a difference
knowing it will be right...
this war that divides
whose supposed to have
the truth of who's wrong and who
is more deserving to be right,
but...


Did you know?
those whose lives, ransomed
for freedom to make you a hero?
felt the same sentiments and hopes?
the same aspirations and ambitions?
same pains and sorrows
and like all of us,
they, too, have a heart,
have a soul that is pierced
by the bullet of hatred
we sustained believing
that their death is our
prize for freedom.


Is it?

@SR. I love this piece, its like going into the minds of the innocent lives lost in war. And those who live after with the horrible memories. thumbs up

once a war has begun. Both sides have lost.
Not only rationality but also the true spirit of Mankind.
and those who do not give in to brutalities and inhumanity's,
they are indeed the light and the way forward. True hero's indeed.

a great bit of writing sundayrose

Sweet,

You truly got my direction. In fact I was thinking more of the lives of those that yet unborn as caused by the killing of our prime youths for losing their lives.

thanks so much for your visit and comment.

I have just been reading the news in Afghanistan abd peace doesn't seem any closer to achieve. Maybe we should think of a good resolution to avoid more casualties. Then again maybe I'm wrong. Maybe truly war and killing is a part of this sick life and there's nothing we can do about it.

Thank you all again for reading and commenting.

Respectfully

SR
