Silent Conversation of Two Wounded Soldiers
Motherland
is ruined to ground and I’ve only an hour or less
to spend my life.
The enemy of my people, a bit stronger
and seems happy to have more time
to live his, stands before me.
I always thought that great Allah
was with me; I’m a faithful Muslim. He is
a devoted Christian. I saw him, ere we exchanged
bullets of anger, intently calling to his
Father (household name of his so called God)
Now, we’re slaving ourselves, thinking.
With our guns pointing at each other,
would he let me live, or would I let him go?
Ah, what are we goin’ to do with our short
remaining breath, continue killing each other
or mend our wounds?
Or, should we still ask the god(s)
to solve these issues at hand?
