ONE DAY I MAY DROP DEAD

hidden as it can be 

some people are just angels in disguise 

they create balance behind close doors

where no one sees what they do

they fight to create peace 

settling disputes for human sake

but we are yet to see their contributions 

because they don't tell a soul

soldiers up at the war front 

settling rugged dispute just for us

dirging on empty stomachs in trenches 

gathering strength to fight on

they lay awake all night for us

welding their third grade amunitions against enemies 

they care not even when it jams 

their survival adrenalin is high just on the thoughts of their families back home 

but government uses them as puns 

just for their stupid political ambitions 

our gallant soldiers knows this for sure 

"obey the first order" blindly makes them refocus 

Ade holds fast his rifle 

he aims for an enemy and about to fire

but his superior stops him and say 

"Kai, aboki, kill no one, order from above"

so the dead soldiers who are gone fought for nothing?

which order from which above?

when will we realize that our lives means nothing to them

I mean those at the top calling shots

these soldiers wakes up everyday

praying it's should not be their last 

they pray earnestly to whatever they believe in

every terrorist is also wise in tactics too

"someday, they will all drop dead"

"all my gallant brothers will die someday"

"one day, I may drop dead too"

Ade whispers as he shed a tear at the funeral
