When the sun sets
and the stars bloom
And the earth is asleep
under the blanket of darkness
On the wings of the glow fly
I rise to the vast sky
And see the sleeping Taj Mahal,
The Mummies of Egypt
And the graves along the border
Where sleeps unknown warriors
Without a tomb stone
And without a lighted candle
May this wonderful and touching poem be a wake up call to all especially those who are called to govern the affairs of government. Soldiers must be given utmost respect and protection for their services and sacrifices for the country and its people. A meaningful poem.
Yes sir very true. We follow money God. Not God of greats. Well expressed.
Graves and tombs! ! ! Muse of the society on earth! Mankind on earth. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
And see the sleeping Taj Mahal, The Mummies of Egypt And the graves along the border Where sleeps unknown warriors Without a tomb stone And without a lighted candle- - -A deeply touching poem about the brave soldiers who sacrifice their lives guarding the border.While monuments are built for kings, the names of the true warriors lie in oblivion, unsung.
On the wings of the glow fly I rise to the vast sky And see the sleeping Taj Mahal, The Mummies of Egypt And the graves along the border. there are millions who live and die for a greater and noble cause. they are forgotten. this is the way of the world. reminding us of our callousness. tony
