Love & War

~ 86 weeks to my 'Tees' (30th) ~

Feb 14th 2019

Woke up on Valentine's Day to the news of the Pulwama suicide bomb attack - where 40 Indian CRPF personnel were martryed. On the day of love, our brothers who limitlessly loved the nation, lost their lives, to terrorism - 'twas a black day for all peace-crusaders...

A few words in their honour... 

A mother woke to her toddler's kisses
Another mother, her young son, she misses
A father got back with love gifts for the family
Another woke to news of melancholy
A daughter is ready to deck up in a red dress
Another will have to put her father's body to rest
A son is ready to head to school
Another's life is stolen, ahead of time, by terrorists, who think they're cool
A wife is welcomed by a colourful flower bouquet
Another's won't ever be the same, starting today
A baby is cuddled tight by its mother & father
An unborn one won't ever hear the voice of the latter
A sibling is jealous of his older brother 
Another vows to join the forces, just like their elder bro, martyred
