haha was ploughing through my Sec 4 english file, found this poem i wrote. it's a sonnet!! hehe i dun relly remember what exactly is a sonnet. :P but anw, i'm still very proud of myself for producing such a wonderful piece of poem... and it even has rhyme! :P hehe i dun think i can write a comparable piece now.
btw, it was written after a school trip to Kranji Memorial Park. so it's a bit gloomy and sad...
The Silent Prayer
For sixty three years, they lie in silence;
Amongst the neat rows of white, their bodies stay;
Only the names prove their once existence
On the cold panels of yellowing clay;
Thousands upon thousands of strangers all
Long forgotten and yet to be laid down
In the same land that's richer than before;
Waiting, for footsteps yet to break the dawn.
And, listen, only to roars of laughter,
Disturbing the souls of eternal life
Who fought hard for battles so far away
From their love, their dreams, and even flowers
Of their beloved homeland. Here shall strive
The brightest ray of sun. Peacefully pray...
