Poem
Start WAR ZONE Sound of gunfire boomed all around Amid the ruins of dilapidated buildings Men in combat uniforms lurked in anticipation Resembled zombies, which gave eerie feelings Two snipers in ghillie suits Face smeared in camouflage paints Lay on their bellies with telescopic guns Attention focused like praying saints Their target was an ammunition store About hundred meters down the road Their orders were to kill the guards And cause the bombs to explode The guards saw them and fired Hitting one of them in the chest The other came to his rescue To save his life he tried his best Blood splattered across his face His clothes became crimson red His vision began to get blurred Due to the amount of blood he bled He recalled their meeting the night before He grew emotional about daughter six years old He wanted to return home after the war And spend time with her, that’s what he told He looked up and said in a melancholy voice “Time’s is running out, I can’t see her again Please meet her after I’m gone and tell her I tried to preserve my life for her, but in vain” As the last words escaped his trembling lips His body became limp as he dropped his head His bloodied body lay on his friend’s lap With eyes open, but he was dead His friend emptied the gun on the ammunition store As a sign of solidarity with his departed soul It exploded with a loud boom into a ball of fire And looked like a huge chunk of burning coal He lay there for sometime ruminating Trying to come to terms with reality The other members of his unit arrived And removed them from the debris End
