Against the wind


Soldiers fight for their country, they try to protect millions of people. Again, nowadays slaves for no reason shooting enemies or brothers in the darkness. They feel like heroes when they go, they feel empty when they come back, if they have that chance. Injured souls forever, phoenix birds burnt in their ashes to finish. Fighting agaist the wind, soldiers are. Whatever they do, will never be the best. The history of the humanity, always the same story to write. Why not send the leaders to fight each other?. I guess, there wouldn't be many wars. Easy to send innocents to fight, while the big idiots talk about talking around the world. Meanwhile, we are small fish swimming in troubled waters, food for big sharks to smile with big teeth for the whole world. Against the wind we fight everyday, and all of a sudden, somebody blows our life off.

War never solves anything but is the cause of much suffering. I am much afraid this Ukraine/Russia war could escalate into WW 3.

You are right Victor. Ukraine/Russia war is lasting too much. And now we also have the Middle East problems added. No good at all. I hope you have a great weekend my friend. Blessings!

Dear Maria, Incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. I liked how it delves into the harsh realities of war and the toll it takes on soldiers and innocent lives alike. You have truly captured the struggle, pain, and injustice faced by those caught in the crossfire. Your call for accountability and peace is a hope filled plea for change. A Moving Reflection! - Blessings, my Friend, Daniel
