SO LONG MY BELOVED (Free verse) by prettyktm

So long my beloved I'm going to fight A war which isn't mine But a man has got to do His duites you see So save your tears For the better time So long my beloved Thanks for the food Thanks for the wine Kiss me now,kiss me warm 'Cause they'll help me In the winter time And keep me alive in your heart 'Cause I don't know when I've be back So long my beloved Pray for me and for this time Say a prayer for the enemies too 'Cause they're even humans Just like me and you And don't cry when I'm gone Just remember this isn't my war.

HI,I agreed that you have a point.But,my poem deals with a soilder,who is saying his goodbye to his beloved.and he isn't stupid to go out and fight just like that.he is been called out to fight and he knows it that his enemies is there.but since he aim to be a solider to serve his country and he knows that in this war,he will give and receive only pain and dead.but as he say's that he can't deny it 'cause his duties doesn't permit him to do so.but since he is a good solider by heart,and not a coward
to run away and let the enemies take his country.If you see.there
are countries like mine [INDIA]we never start wars to take away
other peoples lands,we are call the land of peace.but that does
not mean that our soilders will give up and run away when enemies
will attack our land.why only soliders,if tomorrow someone takes
away your house or mine house by force.we won't let them do that.
