The Partisan

It was my duty to fight and conquer for my country needs me, and so I dress in protective clothing a helmet on my head. I climb a small hill, with belts of bullets all around my stout neck for it's my duty to help my country and save the little babes. I am a partisan, I do my duty. I kill my enemies and save all else. I know it's risky, One day, I'll die, It matters not My duty calls. But if I die, bury near a river beneath a lovely willow tree. And a stone cross should mark my resting place. Just write He did not die in vain.

To die selflessly serving to protect those weaker from bullies, is not in vain. To die protecting those silenced by a tyrants, is not in vain. Well said my friend.

What a lovely whim... to die for the country and others as part of a self undertaken mission. Finally to rest under a willow tree with the inscription on the headstone- "He didn't live in vain!" You have made death so covetable and duty, so holy. Enjoyed your poem dear Victor.

He took the risk so that they need not, he give his life in battle so that they may live their lives and hope they we'll remember his sacrifice.

Great write Victor, souls like these deserve our honor. So many good people may not lay down their life for us, But our in our service for years, I think humanity never thinks of them at all. But you know Victor, God does see them. Pangie

Ready to serve and if need to die and to be remembered in a peaceful place so that others will know that if they follow suit it will not be in vain.

All the frivolous wars waged over the millenniums. Most of them did indeed die in vain. Nevertheless, your poem has merit
