The Martyr

Today as he traveled for his final journey,

Alas! A life wiped out only too early!

The nation mourned the loss of a valiant son,

They recalled the bullet from the machine gun!

He had vowed to fight till his last breath,

Saving lives, he bravely fell to his death!

A mother, a wife, a child silently cried,

They remembered his promise ‘Let me go with pride!’

Walking with their heads held high,

The crowd hearing only a deep sigh!

Go on Soldier, we pray for the war to cease,

While you lay in your resting place finally in peace!
