Tawona Mzila Ranganawa Poet Dramatic Monologue

Soldier For Love

A soldier for love


 


Salute to all the love comrades!

Those who laid down their dignity, arrogance for love

Those who wear rings as a gesture of the battle well fought

Today i wore my camouflage to fight my own war.

Fighting a war to resuscitate my heart





I have my AK 47 on my back ready to fight for love.

Although I have been heartbroken a few times 

But i still throw out those grenades of love,

Hoping, hoping one day that I will be able to throw it and someone grabs it

I am a soldier for love



Wounded, betrayed and shot at

But still,still I continue with my struggle 

I am a soldier, a man of steel


I fight for what I believe


I fight for love


 

My hope is not to die in this struggle

I carry the burden now for my children sake, I fire on

I am a soldier for love

I only bow down to the one I love

When it comes to love, I am always on the front line

For I am a soldier for love
