The lone walker going by the war-field,
Without nothing that could be used for a shield.
He was there weeping for the ones that have gone,
Silently with no noise what he did was moan.
He lost everything to the war,
Now he is left crying with a throat so sore.
He was crying, weeping all alone,
Never could he see his child grown.
The small child who was still in his wife’s womb,
Now he has to be buried within the tomb.
He had nothing else to live for but his pain,
Which is there settled for eternity in his brain.
But all of a sudden a voice within him speak,
The voice he did seek-
“Do not cry for the dead”, it said in a firm way,
Now he knew there would come a new day.
He won’t lose himself like he lost his beloved as such,
He would now try to survive, he knew this much.
He would live for his wife,
Dedicate to her his life.
He would live for that child, he could never know,
And love the people once again to show,
That he is still alive even after what happened to him,
And would outcast his grief full to the brim.
He would try end all this violence, so futile,
He would have to walk on a long mile.
Never would he allow anyone else to face,
He would pray to the Almighty for his grace.
The lone walker would live another life,
This time he would not allow the use of knife.
He would live, he would save,
So that not another person go in this way to grave.
The lone walker going by the war field,
With nothing that could be used as a shield,
Because he doesn’t require it anymore,
He has gained after all the ultimate lore.

Hello Joseph,
Thank You so much. That really means a lot to me. :-)
I am really sorry but I must tell I am a furious writer. I pour words as soon as they strike my mind without thinking much about it at first. So it did not take me long to write this poem.
But thank you so much for appraising my work.
Love,
HA
