BATTLE




I have to fight this battle,
Don't stop me today, Mother,
I have to defeat them,
To save our land and honour.

Tears flowed down her aged cheeks,
As she heard these brave words
from her valiant son.
She fought hard,
Her own inner battles,
Her insecure emotions...
Already lost her husband once,
She didn't want to lose her son too,
in the same battle ground,
Fighting same cause.

    That is the most painful thing, and so senseless--beautifully done.

    What a sad story. But I think of so common. The same battles over and over.
