In  the  Spring  of 
Life.
It was mid April, the fresh  air
Like  rejuvenating
  Mantra
 touch 
His  Soul  and  permeating 
Body,
 Quite  far    he 
sees  a   den.   
Nationalistic   vigour 
tremor like 
Upon His   heels
  aims  and 
arrows,
He becomes   Achilles
 like, 
The   young
soldier  with  the 
Ombudsman  like   walks 
upon  
The   heath   of   breathless,
flooding
Bleeding   and
    vultures  marauding,
“With 
the  blood and flesh of  Death in the spring  air” 
He   takes  
a  vow, if  this 
is going  to 
Get  us   Honour, pride  wealth 
And peace, Geographic expansion,
Fie  upon  arms   and
 armaments 
Artillery   and
weapons. Next  
Clean   burial 
awaits .
