A Soldier's Remain. Poem by Olamide Adebayo

He loved his country,
A patriotic patriot,
Not he was unmarried,
He was bethroted.


Then the time arose,
When needed he defend his country.


She was totally against the Nations' call,
She was teary,
Remorsed over her thoughts.


A representative from the leaders
Approached, to console
And promise words against actions.
He would return with glory
Sculptured in his name.


Now they leave for the war front.
Mourns and wails,
As they match away in a thread.


Days ahead, now defeated,
A few surviving dead
Who had returned in victory.


Having heard,
She started on the track,
Perhaps, to welcome her hero.


But all she saw of him;
His reputable uniform,
Severed!
Fully drenched in blood.
