Martyr Or Victim

He is in a trance

Two bullets pierced his flesh

He is living the past in a slideshow

Just before becoming past himself.

Queue of countless memories

Dilemma to cherish one

Ablush smile of his bride

Or affectionate embrace of his son.

Thick blood is dripping from the holes

Pride of serving the nation on his face

Pale body of the soldier can never know

If war brings war or war brings peace.

Subject of discussion for a week

Garlands and gun-salute meek

The flag Enveloped body is enough to forget

If Martyr or Victim.
