A Soldier's Account of Battle
-Balaji S
From overhead, above all the chaos surrounding me,
With sorrow,destruction and carnage galore,
Comes a formidably loud roar.
Looking up, I see a magnificently armed MiG-29,
Leaving in her wake a smoke trail fine.
As I look at the ground, over yonder,
What I see gives me something to ponder;
It is the massive sillouette of a T-90 tank,
Its guns as lethal as any Basilisk's fang.
As it lumbers past me, all I hear is its battle-cry.
Standing there, I was lost in my thoughts,
Oblivious to the fact that my Commander had approached me.
I gave him a stiff salute when I divined that it was my attention he sought.
"Go, man the machine guns", the order came.
I trudged along the dirt ground, wondering if I was still sane.
"War", I thought, "Where is thine chivalry?",
"Why art thou pulling innocents into thine web?"
Until I get the answers, I can but wait for the Conflict to ebb,
Away, Away, Away...
Better than last time right?

i'll say very good bro.. the last post was unique in itself.. i liked that one as well.. so much for an aspiring pilot who is also a carnatic music student who loves Linkin Park and knows the date of armageddon but alas supports supports scolari's men.. great men have flaws.. thats what makes them human and greater..
supporting the genius of luiz felipe scolari and his gifted men, no...gifted Gods is as much a flaw as being a theist and praying to God...
