Soldier-The Real Hero

All this when I remember, Silently rolls down a tear. Our country was in danger And nation's pride at stake; A bloody battle shook the border, Turned into red sea, every lake. At this thought, when I shudder, Silently rolls down a tear. Blood smeared the shining snow, Battered and bruised bodies lay; Fearlessly they faced every blow, For whose sins did they pay? For lives lost when i fear, Silently rolls down a tear. Spurred by the courage to kill, Injured arms grasped the gun; Then, fought with relentless will, Knocking 'em down one by one. As I sleep, while they slaughter, Silently rolls down a tear. Then collapsed on the ground, Face exuding an eternal bliss; And drifted to a sleep so sound, On mother earth' s lap in peace. When I raise candles in prayer, Silently rolls down a tear. Perhaps a loving son/brother, Or apple of someone's eye; They have all lost him forever, Without a parting goodbye! Their helpless cries, when I hear, Silently rolls down a tear. A war has no winner, If only humans had known! Religion or race no matter, Every drop bled was our own. Proudly when I salute a martyr, Silently rolls down a tear.
