A Young Soldier On Service Poem by Confucius

The sentiments of near and dear relatives of a soldier about his service and the risk to his life involved in it beautifully portrayed.

In the wild his body may not lieway of all wars.He has put words in his mother's mouth.Mother will not think of son, s still body lying in the woods.But war was all around and ways of life at that time.Valour was a false virtue snatching son from old mother.Stop war by all means. All his loved ones are dead.eitherof war or something else. He is alone and in the defense service.Mother will say.donot succumb, I have put enough vitality in you, do not give in, Come back.
