A soldier’s battle

The distant jungles abandoned
it gives me a virtual image of a soldier
across the thick jungles
of a place called Vietnam.
The youth then needs you most
the tenderness
since replaced with anger and wrath
against the enemy
hiding behind the tree...

Jungles are a dangerous place to be
as one doesn't know
a reptile, a snake or the bullet of an enemy
may take one’s life just for the asking

but at that point of time
no soldier knows where is he,
he lurks behind the jungle trees,
in a passion more than love
more hatred for the enemy,

he has abandoned all hopes
of being once again a loving family
