The declaration of war; a suicide risk,

The evacuation of women and children into safe zones,

The men? Thrown Into the war front; both mighty and feeble,

Those who pronounced war sat back in the Haven of their people,

The curse of the burden of warfare; laid on the people

With guns loaded the army trooped into the wilderness;

With hopes that the enemy crumbles before their riffle.

Then into the country Rome they fought,

And into the skies; guidance they sought,

Amidst the mountains and valleys, the rules of survival; they were taught,

Facing many hardships and willing to die,

But the enemy was strong and willing to fight,

The moon light shone upon them while some stood guard in the cold night;

With hopes to unite with the family they left behind.

They fought day and night there was no relief,

Till on the enemies hunting flare they turned their backs; drunk with fatigue, intrigued to wave the white flag,

It was their woe to surrender to the foes;

They formed lines were they were chained and caned,

Great soldiers now made into mockery,

They brought shame to the land which they claim as their mother land,

They did not know pain until they knew the remorse of survival.
