Standing on the verge of the boundary,
Soldier saw the zenith of his own country,
He wished to reach his own Eden,
Alas, he was still on his enemy’s nation.
He always kept the candle of hope alive,
He knew one day he will cross this other side,
He knew whom he will meet by the river side,
He knew that the day of unity will soon arrive.
Shot. Shot. Shot.
Catch him dead or alive, voices shouted.
It was the hour of Bedlam,
Inauspicious was this moment for him.
It was his last chance to reach his quarters,
After a lot of struggle he made it to the border,
He didn’t want to go through the hellish lows again,
He wanted to lie peacefully in his home again.
He was weak, his limb was bleeding,
His cracked arm lost all the strength,
But he knew it was his last chance,
He knew if today he will run, he will revive.
His trembling steps started to move,
To his foe, he didn’t give a single look,
Firmly on his steps he stood,
Open his page of bravery book.
Did he breathe the smell of brotherhood?
Did he dance with his love near the wood?
Did he rejoice his reunion?
Did he reach his region?

Really Nice
ReplyDeleteCaught him dead or alive, voices shouted? if the people have caught him... then they know if he is dead or not... the clause "dead or alive" is before catching someone not after...
ReplyDeleteas after catching u know whether he is alive or not.
and especially in this case where u have said that "He was weak, his limb was bleeding,
His cracked arm lost all the strength" and all
it means the soldier is still alive... he might be barely alive but still it makes him alive.
so in any case... dead or alive clause cannot be used after catching someone.
rest all PURRR... FECT!
100 stars :)
and especially the last suspense unrevealed... did he reach or not :)
