The Soldiers that died for others
---------------------------------------------
Only a few hours before , i was terrified and shuddered to think how millions of soldiers went on fighting and fighting and killing the soldiers of other countries they had never known , seen or talked and yet when the politicians said that they were their enemies, they should kill them on sight and destroy their properties. I was terrified to know how the young men remained in the foreign lands, leaving their families behind, whom they had not seen since years and would not see them at all , if at all they returned home, wife gone with some other man, children lost in the streets, houses they built with blood and sweat destroyed by enemy bombs, their parents died when they killed fathers of children of enemy lands, I was terrified to know that some very young boys were recruited as soldiers , they had not tasted life ( like War of Roses in Middle Ages )and I was terrified to know that some youngsters would never be grown in full youth and would be flung into the deserts from cold countries and defend some dictators who had destroyed the generations. I was terrified to know that some roses were to fade away without being roses and were found fit to be dumped under the debris of clay and buildings. I was terrified when I saw skeletons of soldiers who died in World war I , their bodies discovered from under the farms and earth dug up to build new houses, their identity fixed from the name card, country known from the uniform and the heirs at home not existing , yet they had died for a cause they never knew but the Politicians knew that they had to fight to satisfy their lust for power, lands, oil and riches. The riches never reached the dead soldiers but future generations would reap the fruits of their blood, sweat and tears

Heart piercing plea , this is result of few bastards called leaders responsible for millions of deaths and suffering of mankind
and sadly after millions of years’s evolution and claims of being fucking civilised we are still worst than animals , honestly this poem brought tears in my eyes , thinking as if he was my son
It’s not fucking bravery or sacrifices but utter inhuman that our sons have to give their lives for ego and interests of few bastards in power , this profession must cease to exist for good of mankind
