Winter Poetry Contest 2022- Fourth Entry
Topic: Soul fragment
A part of that person's energy is thrown away and now exists separately from or independent from that person
Poem:
I gaze at the grave scenery unfolding
Near where I roam since my passing
As two attacking armies have a clash
The soldiers tirelessly shoot and slash
Let me introduce myself properly first
I'm a soul fragment having huge thirst
For peace, for harmony, for humanity
I'm myself a remnant of this calamity
I stopped breathing at a fenced border
That was two rival kingdom's separator
On battlefield broke my oath to family
Didn't return back happily after victory
Now can only watch paralyzed as more
Soldiers break their oath in this gore
More families loose loved like my own
More heroes turn like me in this zone
Wish I can let out a deafening scream
Say lets not kill more, forget this dream
It only promises death and destruction
Without reaching a definite conclusion
But alas! I'm just an abandoned soul
No one can see me cry out or scowl
Cursed to stare at soil that bleeds red
More and more living fall down dead
One side ends up winning over other
But loss just slightly less than looser
No one can bring those poor fighters
Soldiers live like a bomb with timers
I place my invisible wreaths and flowers
Stand staring at tombstones for hours
The King later had a war memorial built
It can't reverse the blood and tears spilt
