Fearless, I stare
As the muzzle gazes at me.
Through the dark tunnel,
My nation’s fall
My fellows’ blood
My dreams’ crash
My mission’s death
I thought I would see….
but..
A smile so pure and innocent
Beckoning eyes, looking through my soul
Tears at its doorway,
Ready to gush with my blood
A promise meeting its death
A love trembling in vain
An unsaid farewell
Were all that I saw.
Shame covering me,
I stared once more
At the dark opening,
My road to freedom.
Closing my eyes,
I heard the start of an explosion
At the other end of the noise……….
