If I Come Back In Pieces Poem by Hesbon Nyamweya

If I Come Back In Pieces



After vowing our fate on war and fatal metal.....
We set our deadly journey hoping to come back with a medal.....
Whether in peace or pieces i bid you bye my wife.....
Dont cry mum and dad your son is out to make you all safe.....
My child dont despair dady is making you a better life....
We are the sons of sand and bones so dont grim even if i come back in pieces.

I got your encouraging letter my sister.....
I could'nt pick your argent calls my brother.....
We are dreary approaching the valley of death......
Where vultures awaits our fallen bodies at all length.....
With this sound of rushing bullets my love i missed your calls.....
If i dont reply you all dont be dispirited i'll remain tall....
And come back to your arms even if its in pieces.

To my unborn child by the time you read this letter.....
I'll not be around or in a position to explain things better....
Eitheri'll be six feet below the soil i swore to protect....
Or mentally demented for your memories to recollect.....
Coz i gave it all to make you free in the streets.....
And my legend will live among you until again we meet......
So dont be despondent even if i come back in pieces.

To my anticipated wife, i heard you moved on and in a new date....
You decided to through me overboard like a burning end of a cigarrete.....
Not aware i'm a son of war and serving my country's duty.....
So that you and others wont be imposed to frequent insecurity.....
Even though memmed, it wont be as painful as loosing you.....
But i believe i'll be a hero even if i come back in pieces.

My people, tomorrow we wake to a storm of fire.....
I wont be reachableso pray and keep your hopes higher.....
Coz i hear no one walks alive from that skull spot....
I'm afraid though giving up i wont......
I want you all to know i'll love you to my death.....
Even if this is my fate still i cherish and i'll fight to my last breath....
And be a hero in your lives even if i come back in pieces.END(Dedicated to our fallen KDF May your brave souls rest in peace)
