| Hollow Sacrifice |
The persona is now old and wheel-chair bound.
He reflects.
He saw how he fought for independence. Was it against the Japanese or the communists?
He must be wounded because he is suffering in bitterness. His valour goes unrewarded.
Today, confronting a changing world, he knew there is no longer any fight left in him.
He watches as deceit spreads all around to envelop the country that its independence he might have fought for.
He seeks the next generation to have the same kind of commitment and bravery to rid the country of the 'deceit' be it corruption or racism. Will they do it patriotically as the world has changed when global economics rule the world.
This is one dark tale of a soldier's patriotic melancholia. There will be no reprieve.
