War, a result of human greed. A selfish endeavour yet the place for the most selfish actions. I'm writing this war story which was once told to me by an old lady, while on one of my 3hours flight travels. It's a short memoir on those who are caught up in war.
From year to year he drifts alone.
His story only few have known.
About a boy who went to war,
and there he stayed forevermore.
His leathered skin and graying hair,
his tattered clothes and gazing stare,
standing tall, yet head so low,
he carries scars we'll never know.
So know that our freedom isn't free.
It came from heroes such as he!
So, if this novel piques your interest,give it a read and maybe it can touch your tear-glands.
Thank you..
