      Acknowledgement

      War is Like Tears

      Wiping off the stream of tears

      Flowing incessantly from her eyes

      I pick up my baggage with heavy heart

      Heaving a loud sigh of grief-

      She throws her hands tightly around my waist!

      There are still hours for dawn to begin

      My son—deep in his sleep

      Moths are huddling around the lamp

      Colliding over the same lamp

      Some are spreading their legs injured

      While others are already dead!

      Few drops of her tears

      Trickle over my boot

      And shimmer at the brightness of light

      I close my eyes

      And, open them in a while

      To look at the boots

      The teardrops flowing from the boot

      Had vanished somewhere into the carpet

      I think—

      The life of we soldiers

      Is like tears!

      ‘Please do not go to the war

      Let us go back to our own country’

      ‘Don’t say that, my dear!

      I have promised the Union Jack—two times

      How would I say—

      I am not going to Afghanistan?

      It’s my duty to go to war’

      Unknowingly slips my arrogance!

      I think—of my old parents

      I see—my sleeping child

      My dear wife shed into tears

      Uff!

      How would my heart allow me

      To go to the war at this time?

      There is a heap of dead moths

      Over the carpet

      I start hearing

      Soundless music

      Pouring incessant river from the eyes

      And, putting garland of flowers around my neck

      With her shivering hands,

      She says—

      ‘Return from the war

      Like the way you are going today.’

      I feel—

      There are many things to say

      But words don’t come out

      Getting speechless

      I step out of my quarter

      And, slam loudly

      The door of farewell!

      —Kangmang Naresh Rai

      Before going to the war
