Win the War
In the tough war field action crawls the soldier
across the hostile ground riddled with mine,
charges with the loaded gun on his shoulder,
revenge and rage in fighter mind sorely combine.
Facing the lurking danger of dying any instant,
sparkle of the smiling face of his little daughter
he sees flash on the screen of sense dormant,
he subsides awhile for his mission is to slaughter.
His assigned task now is to kill the enemy at sight
with the hands that fondly caressed his daughter,
fear of death is killed by the incitement to fight,
he must live for her, it’s not the time to falter.
Be a bold soldier, fight for a cause without fear,
you will live for the loved ones winning the war.
