War Chronicles II - The Guardian Angel...

The Guardian Angel

Every night the same story,
Every day the same fog,
This war drags on and on with no end in sight,
As the soldiers caught inbetween,grow ever tired of this fight......

Every night a change in position,
Every day a false alarm,
The planes continue to fly over head,looking for a target,
We continue to try to stay hidden, running away from false hatred!

Yet my luck continues to amaze me,
How we continue to remain free,
Trapped behind enemy lines,
I start to feel like you have been present at all times.....

I remember when I got my first story,
That suicide blast on that black day in history,
Something compelled me to get off that train,
A gap of few seconds and my whole life could have been in vain....

I spoke to you that night,
When i got home after all that anarchy in sight,
You told me you were thinking of me at that moment,
That you sensed something was going to happen.....

Even after you passed away,
You seemed to affect me in many little ways,
Was it you or some freak luck I don't care,
Cause even if it wasn't you, this little lie keeps me going everyday....


Alone, A lone reporter among soldiers,
Alone, A lone woman among men,
Alone, among men of steel, I stand the only one not afraid of this war,
Cause I know I have you, My Guardian Angel, looking after me thus far....



-Aiman

War and Peace......

"Before the bombs start to fall again...
I have a few minutes in seclusion which i shall dedicate to writing to my near and dear ones.....
Who knows when the next opportunity may arise....
Who knows if i ever may get a chance to say the things to them that should never be left unsaid....
In the shadow of the night.....
As the explosions shake us to our very core ...
Dark thoughts arise....
But every night we make it through....
We grow closer to the end....
Maybe the enemy will give up and leave us alone.....
But to give into complacency would be the end....
For in war there is no defeat....
Only the symphony of victory....
Or the silence of death!!!"
