REASONS He was patriotic and Wanted a true paradise, For his people, Or maybe because he Couldn’t make the ends meet Or maybe, The idea seemed like a good one On that day. But does it matter? He went to the war Sacrificed his life, For his motherland. Came back home In a sealed casket. People ask endlessly, Who, How, Where… He was someone’s son, Husband or father or both. Grandson, Nephew, Cousin or Friend Loved by them all Missed by them all. Having given his life To all of us. Isn’t that enough, To standby his family, To honour him, And to remember him?
