Tears Of Soldier Poem by Makhosonke Dhlamini

Tears Of Soldier



Militant minds
Beauty of the dream
In honor of the command our soul
was wounded.

Medals we attain with the daring spirit,
Which mock our courage to death.

Nature in its innocent has crown us
With guilt.

Our enemies we protect and enter into battle
With those we LOVE.

Dave is right. i try to find out the real enemy but i do not find even a single one. every one whom i treat as enemy, is either biased or suffering from some complexities. A great poem with a great theme
