A battle has started upon the eyes of men
A used of sharp swords and of pen
All are willing to earn freedom away from this den.
Raising soldiers with exquisite strength and with the strongest brain
Aim to destroy their opponents and watch the bloody rain
The hold and grip of freedom in a sewage they will drain.
March by march, they traveled far
Their goal is to uprise a raging war
Jotting words, in exchange for bullets
Waiting for the sound of Victory's trumpets.
Raising soldiers with the wisest mind
A war for the wisdom they will bind
Freedom and Knowledge they shall find.
In words and deeds, the warriors were kind
As the fog of war caught their breath
Some shouted, "Freedom!" and some shouted, "Death!"
Swords against guns,
Words against power.
"We're captives of you no longer."
Original composition by: Jel Pamela Ballentos

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem tribute to all the warriors who never stop to protect the country. My hats off to them and to all their family who also sacrifice for their absence.
ReplyDeleteI do have a soldier in our house :) my husband is a former army I have so much respect and admiration to soldier , the thought of they have to be away from their love ones and the danger along the way of their service is more than words can describe how heroic indeed they are. The poem melts my heart.

ReplyDeleteA poem depicts the real life of a soldiers, not only soldiers but also implies the hunger for the FREEDOM of all people.

ReplyDeleteThis is a living testament to the greatness of our soldiers. I hope we can thank them with the only way we know; by sending messages of praise and thanks.
ReplyDeleteSoldiers are admirable since they sacrifice their family time and at times their health and life just to keep people safe. This captures such a valiant journey to freedom.
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of the topic of the purpose of war... I find it meaningless to be having war in this generation when everyone knows it will go no where... it's sad to see soldiers losing their lives and families losing their fathers and sons...
ReplyDeleteOffering your life for the country and countrymen is the greatest sacrifice a soldier can do. A soldier is indeed a great hero.
