A Hero

He now works as a gardener

On the green lawns of a suburban house

A Hero maimed when he aimed

But not bereft of a powerful hand

He`s a jovial man, he has a radiant smile

Though now unneeded in the battlefield

He cherishes that no more

He fights for selfish interests

Not ever again  till his eternal rest
