He Went Like All The Others
He Went Like All The Others
1 min
250
He went like all the others
At the age of twenty one
To give his life for the country
Pride and honour above all
He went like all the others
It wasn't his decision to go
But it wasn't for him to challenge a decision, either
So he fought
At the heights
In the trenches
Across rivers
Through deserts
He went like all the others
And in a year
he aged 20 more
Never once stumbling
Never once hesitating
His aim steady
His frame firm
His body lithe
He went like all the others
One day
One moment
All it took was one bullet
He felt nothing
Some dreams collapsed
In a small village
Where a wife, a mother, a father, a son
Had been waiting for him
He went like all the others.
