This poem is a tribute to the army soldiers. They are ready to sacrifice for their country. This poem is about a boy, who was free. He saw many dreams and he wanted to live for his country. The boy was finally given a push into the army one day. The world had changed for him. He had to leave his family. One day, during a war, he was shot by his enemy. Now the soldier speaks that he has died but still his name remains. The enemy wasn't able to destroy his identity completely. He says he was strong and happy to have died. He says that the enemy had killed him finding him strong in the battlefield. The soldier warns the enemy that death is on his way because many of his soldier friends are still present on the battlefield and the fight isn't over. The soldier thanks the enemy for killing him. As because of him, he was able to achieve the high rank in heaven. He proudly says although he have died but his name is still being recalled by his nation. He is happy to have lived for his nation.

Summary

Update 2023: This poem expresses views I don't totally align with anymore. I will nevertheless, with this notice, leave it up here as a piece of history, for it is something I wrote and believed in many years ago, and I do not agree with censoring or erasing history. Part of Old Description: I in no way support slavery; I think any infringement on human freedom, irrespective of race, must be seriously-well justified lest it be a thoroughly heinous act of immorality that I will always vehemently oppose. I also oppose big governments, though. Slavery aside, I support the ideas of independence that motivated the Confederate fight, just like those that motivated the American fight against the British in the revolution.
