00 - Come Back Home, Soldier Poem by Vikram G. Aarella

00 - Come Back Home, Soldier

Rating: 4.1


Come back home soldier
Throw your gun away,
Your child is waiting for you
Bring her some toys to play.

Throw the medals, throw the uniform
Head back to your home land,
Your wife is struggling without you
Give her a helping hand.

Killing innocent people is not war
It is manslaughter and murder,
Your mother is worried about you
Don’t make her last days harder.

This war has no moral or ethics
Being fought for greed and money
Your pet dog is missing you
Give it your love and company.

Crops in your field have grown taller
No one is there to harvest them
Your friends are short of a player
Come home, come back to them.

Yes, it indeed is, a soldier is a puppet in the hands of power greedy mongers. Poor soul, in the quest of saving his country, his own home is in turmoil.

This is a very well written poem, great pace and rhyme. But if the soldier comes hom, what will happen to homes of several hundreds of civilians whose hope in life is to be protected by soldiers... Preets

Great poem....but the poor soldier is just a victim of greedy men who live for just power and superiority.He is also a victim of ignorance thinking he is doing a great noble deed where in reality he is just a puppet to awry creeds
