It never took time <br />For thee to gaze anxiety at the sun <br />But so long enough it took <br />For us to speak with my tears <br />And so to gloom the stars of fantasy <br /> <br />I smiled hopefully <br />As I my wounds laughed faithfully <br />My eyes cried obstacles <br />That lied beside my unpleasant journey <br />And killed my heart <br />Yes I did <br /> <br />The rain poured <br />As I stood with one leg <br />No arm to wave goodbye the world <br />And vision kept walking with fanasy <br />As all my efforts ran away with modesty <br />I dictated my missions <br />Yes I did <br /> <br />As I roamed <br />My life was so much doomed <br />Then I held the flag of defeat <br />And sang my bloody song <br />Yes I did <br /> <br />Pain never cleared at all <br />Being striked by the storm of tears <br />That left dark and red marks in my eyes <br />And illegally jailed my heart with scars <br />With no intentions I stood still <br />Yes I did <br /> <br />Took a decision to betray my people <br />I authorised defeat <br />Please do not judge me but the circumstances <br />A missioned soldier came from behind <br />And his duties put bullet in my head <br /> <br />The journey for me ended <br />My lovely kids shall never see me again <br />I perished with a heart <br />I perished with love <br />And I died with pride <br /> I did <br />Yes I did<br /><br />Anele TheAfrikanSon kaMthethungqongqo Potelwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-death-tears-of-an-african-soldier/
