A War Survivor's Tale Poem by Chan Mongol

April 19,2016

You were not born when I was there!
When I was in operations in the war!
When bullets were flying over my shoulder!
When many neighbors, people ran in fear! !

Death to the left, death to the right, death ahead!
Death in the back and we were totally surrounded!
Now you talk big and disrespect then fighter!
You are here, you are for power and you took over! !

Youths like me, took guns for people's protection!
We didn't have life like you have in the civilization!
Who gives a damn for our lives and dedication?
You are too much in your success and election! !

We didn't surrender and they left us alone in daylights!
Cowards, traitors, bastards always chose nights for fights!
They were well trained with good skills to do the war!
Many of ours died but I lived to tell stories as a survivor! !

Regret! History didn't give us the proper space!
Crooks took the control in our absence!
Decades passed by and no hello, no Hi for wounded!
What a surprise that the truth never got recorded! !

Saviors are called bad guys and traitors are regarded!
Glories are for who sabotaged, destroyed and kidnapped!
They were confused and twisted with immoral behaviors!
Enemies killed each other and still regarded as martyrs! !

You were not born when I was there!
When I was in operations in the war!
When bullets were flying over my shoulder!
When many neighbors, people ran in fear! !
