Flashes of War

squeezing the trigger
the impact of the force
throws the body backwards

The tally keeps rising
the knowledge keeps sinking
the soul is irreversibly sold

To the nation and defense
..of his beloved people.. hope
hope the images wont keep flashing

For a defender of the people needs peace
his people need peace and the defender
needs peace to be able to sleep... shalom



lewis nyaga
a dedication...

to all those who fight
in the battle front out of
conviction they are doing the
right thing... special forces peace day
