SOLDIERS OF LOVE


There was a defeaning sound,
Flames rage,smokes abound,
The thick grey billowing up
Cutting through the cries of people wailing,
People who lay stripped apart,
In the ghastly bomb blast,
Some limbs lay here and there,
Blood flowing everywhere. 


People ran helter skelter,
Seeking some shelter
From the burning splinters,
Putting their bodies on fire in the chilling winter,
Then walked up the brave soldiers,
Lending them a supporting shoulder,
Protecting the young and the older,
Defending like a big boulder.


A few of them took on the enemy,
Working against the enthalpy,
They do not look back,
Facing all that wrack,
Taking on life's brevity,
Tears welling, severe cecity,
Bravely they move on
Not sure of their breaths gone.



They are our guarding angels, 
Best friends though strangers,
Saving lives by giving theirs,
Protecting the nation's pride, anywhere,
But why do we need to fight and bomb,
Create a disastrous progrom, 
Massacre humanity,
Losing all sanity.



Cannot just peace prevail
Instead of such gory tales,
Why we humans not love each other,
Living like sisters and brothers,
Caring for one and all,
Let such tragedies not befall
At any place anywhere,
And we have soldiers of love,promoting peace everywhere.
