From under the cold nozzle <br />The gun metal was like the soldier <br />Carrying it in the heat of the mid day <br />Gazing the gypsy women they had been <br />Eating lizards for months <br />Who would capture the wilderness <br />In the desert of cactus and mosquitoes <br />The other one had moustache like an ant <br />I had a narrow escape for overspeeding <br />On road meant for wild boars <br />A Tommy gun was pointed at me <br />With a threat that had it not been <br />For the mercy of the lord <br />I would have paid with my blood <br />By just asking a question <br />To know what was the order for me <br />26/5/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-soldiers-2/
