THE CRY OF A SOLDIER'S SON
Excuse me, have you seen my Dad? He is a soldier, strong and brave. He has fierce eyes and a bravery of six lions. I hear him calling but I can’t see him.
He told mom he will be coming back, he said he will bring us a medal of glory but now I hear a different story. He told me I will hear from him often. But maybe he has forgotten.
He told me he will come for the baby shower, we’ve waited and now the soup is sour.
If this be a dream, wake me up!!, if this be a piece of theatre, let the act end!!!.
Let the drums end, let the music seize, let this dance end. It’s sickening
The day you left with your comrades, you all were singing victory songs as you sat at the back of the military wagon.
Were you singing victory into your death?
You left us just like your comrades had left their families. Shame on you all.
What wrong did we do? Did we get born for heroes or horrors?
Every day I hear the enemy visited and I will ask, what about mine.
God please give me a sign.
Today they told me you were coming home. We all bathe and we waited. I wanted to hear the same victory songs you went with but instead I heard the siren of death. I saw your comrades all in tears, I clinched to mom in fear when I asked, mummy where is daddy? They showed us a box. What do mumny tell the children? “Daddy went to fight the dragon and the dragon ate him”.
She refuse to accept this, "bring my husband back to me.she yell.....
Where is my husband, where is my hero. Let him call my name.
Now you put all these medals on him, of what use are medals to a dead man?
Why did I marry a soldier, why did mom marry a man who will choose death over her?
Now you’re gone protecting the country, who will protect Us?
"Shame on you husband of mine. Shame on you father of my children. What did I do wrong that you took me from my father’s house just to leave me alone? Shame on you soldier.
They say you are a hero, no you are a coward. Only a coward will leave his wife and kids to a world of uncertainty.
Wake up from there and tell me how to handle this calamity." Mom said
Open your arms and I'll fly out of hell up to you.
I wish it was true Dad!.
Dad, come on out from the cold.
You're lost outside there, don't you know?
It's not what you say, it's what you do.
After all these gunshots and decoration, the people will go and we will start facing reality.
The people you went to defend will never pass by again
Why did mom marry a soldier?........
