Soldier Quotes Quotes

“The war came as I took a step outside
and my mother knelt whispering to my ear
When the war came
the soldiers carried faces painted with stars
and they fell to our footsteps,
riding without a shadow into the light
Without heat, the sun”
― Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

“Bless Me With Bullets (The Sonnet)

Just once let me die for the people,
Then I can live in peace.
Once I am wiped out for the world,
Then I can have my long awaited sleep.
Only when a bunch of bravehearts are sleepless,
Can the rest of humanity sleep in peace.
Only when a bunch of reformers are peaceless,
Will all the inequalities be appeased.
To hell with personal happiness!
To hell with the notion of personal and social!
There is no person, there is no planet,
Till the troubles of the world feel super personal.
Come all ye offended, charge at me
with your entire arsenal.
I won't resist, come and bless me,
with your bullets of denial.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans
