QUITE A TOUCHING ONE
THE LAMENTS OF A SOLDIER WIFE.
Excuse me, have you seen my
husband? He is a soldier, strong and
brave. He has fierce eyes and a
bravery of six lions. I hear him
calling but I can’t see him.
He told me he will be coming back
home, he said he will bring me a
Medal of Glory but now I hear a
different story. He told me I will hear
from him often. But maybe he has
forgotten.
He told me he will come for the baby
shower, we’ve waited and now the
soup is sour.
If this be a dream, wake me up, if
this be a piece of theatre, let the act
end.
Let the drums end, let the music
seize, let this dance end. It’s
sickening. The day you left with your
comrades, you all were singing
victory songs as you sat at the back
of the Military Truck.
Were you singing victory into your
death?
You left me just like your comrades
had left other women. Shame on you
all.
What wrong did we do? Did we marry
heroes or horrors?
Every day I hear the enemy visited
and I will ask, what about mine.
God please give me a sign.
Today they told me you were coming
home. I bathe the children and we
waited. I wanted to hear the same
victory songs you went with but
instead I heard the siren of death
and the bugle Sound of the last call.
I saw your comrades all in tears,
junior clinched to me in fear when he
asked, mummy where is daddy? They
showed me a box. What do I tell the
children? “Daddy went to fight the
dragon and the dragon ate him”.
I refuse to accept this, bring my
husband back to me.
Where is my husband, where is my
hero. Let him call my name.
Now you put all these medals on
him, of what use are medals to a
dead man?
Why did I marry a soldier, why did I
marry a man who will choose death
over me?
Now you’re gone protecting the
country, who will protect me?
Shame on you husband of mine.
Shame on you father of my children.
What did I do wrong that you took
me from my father’s house just to
leave me alone? Shame on you
soldier.
They say you are a hero, no you are
a coward. Only a coward will leave
his wife and kids to a world of
uncertainty.
Wake up from there and tell me how
to handle this calamity.
After all these gunshots and
decoration, the people will go and I
will start facing reality.
The people you went to defend will
never pass by again |
