Fallen Soldiers
They met on the battlefield of duty
Young men all were, full of dreams for the future
The spring of their lives had just begun
But
All answered the call and came at once to fight for:
Their country
Their families
Their beliefs
Their faith
Their honor
And they did fight to the very end with hate for the enemy in their hearts
Till their bodies were laid on the ground- dead!
Then,
As their souls were leaving the prison of their inanimate bodies,
Liberated thus from:
Misguidance
Ignorance
Planted hate and
Injustice
Looked at each other anew and to their amazement realized
That nothing from what divided them till then anymore existed:
No country
No family
No creed
No status and
No race
For
The same all were-
Pure light, having heaven as their home
And only love in their consciousness they felt,
Love that all of them united into One
So
As their souls filled with the divine knowledge of the Oneness
Jubilant soared to heaven, where God, the father of them all-
With opened arms to receive them awaited!

* The leaders of the world met the other day in Paris
to pay tribute to all those who fell in the line of duty
during the first WW. This little poem is my tribute to
all those who gave their life for us to live in peace today.
Let us pray that no war will disturb humanity in the future
because we, in reality are brothers and sisters!
