Wife of A Veteran: Lamentations
Whom are we waiting for?
Whom are we waiting for?
For John we are waiting for?
He has traveled on a journey
To a land of limited return
He has gone to serve his country
To a market place of no return
For john we are waiting for?
This land he has gone to,
Is crying
Its tears are flowing
Like Niagara falls only
This time with talents and dreams
Within it,
He has gone to join his comrades
Soiling his hands like they in this Niagara Falls
Of dreams and talents
May the bird of death never take him,
May he not be in dan.ger
The danger a gazelle faces in the hands
Of a lion
For john we are waiting for?
We will keep waiting for you till return
We have hope,
Though my neighbors have personified hope
As the heaviest weight a man can carry
I am prepared to carry it.
It’s the band of the idealist
This land of no return
Smiles
