| THE MESSAGES | |

This poem is dedicated to all the mothers, fathers, aunties, uncles, brothers, sisters, wives, friends, lovers and cousins - who have lost their dear ones in THE WAR! THE MESSAGESAs thoughts travel to the battlefront Expecting messages in replies They shudder and shiver By the missing bullets and bombs Sitting in the balcony Eyes closed, hair raising The mere thoughts are disrupted As they return without any messages Dead bodies all around There is no one to deliver the messages As thoughts gather courage To see the unforeseen scenario Tears rolling down the eyes Clenching fists, folded hands Pray, pray and pray endlessly For the messages to arrive The bullets find their targets The bombs embrace the bodies Even before the thoughts could reach again The messages ultimately arrive from the battlefront Brothers, sons, fathers, uncles, cousins, nephews, husbands, friends, lovers There are messages of everyone Happy thoughts dare the inevitable Anticipating the messages They arrive! Yes, they do finally Wrapped in the flags of the nation The messages are delivered With great honour in coffins! Johnny D 11th June 2007
