Soldier

Soldier in his prayer amidst a battle, 

"Lest not the bullet 

with my name on it find me yet. 

A few battles of mine

waiting back at home

some unfinished businesses.

Couple of words to spare

some loved ones to meet, 

and a little love to share.

Left in a hurry to protect the walls

of my country and my own."
