Rama Balasubramanian Poet Acrostic

Coming Back Home

What would be the state of mind of a young man coming back home after war?
__________________________________________________

Cares and worries cast away

Overflowing with joy since break of day

My head heavy seeing many dead

Incessant shots, much blood shed

Now excited like a small child

Going home to unwind tensions piled

Back in my streets, I see happy faces

A joyous welcome, warm embraces

Chatting with family, eating home food

Kneeling down to God, expressing gratitude

Humming a song, glad to be alive and free

On my bed I sleep carefree

Merciful lord end all wars

Erase war memories, war I deplore

Judy Ball February 21, 2021 at 5:33 PM War is a terrible thing and has no mercy on the helpless. Coming home is healing when you have something to come back to. Great job here. God Bless my friend.
