Poem

Charged with a fiery spirit, full of valour
To protect the nation from rival force
Volunteered to join the armed force
Knowing well all risks, sans remorse

Plucked away from hearth and kin,
Often had to dwell in lands unknown
For daring and diligence, laurels he had won
Ever confronting foes, lived a life forlorn

Lay in ambush in dingy trench
Crossed swords with formidable might
Starved to death in enemy camps
Fought with verve for country’s right

All through service, knew no rest
Ease and comfort, he had none
To drill and discipline, he was wed
Life’s winsome pleasures, he did shun

Bravely bared his manly breast 
Before triggered guns and flying bullets
Shed out drops of sweat and blood 
To save the nation from rival blasts

Now back home, wounded and hurt
Life is limping without hope
The sky is dark, not a ray of light near
No one around to serve as prop

Winds blow fierce striking fear
He struggles to make both ends meet
Through long and lonely roads he walks
All he sees is the stark grimace of defeat

Even his close family turns a cold face
So painful it is that all seem to ignore
A hollow emptiness now fills his space
Who would care a cripple back from war?
