Tribute to Heroes: A Poetic Journey

This poem honors those who fight for their country. It describes a soldier saying goodbye to loved ones as they embark on an unknown journey of duty. Though the sights of war may scar them, the soldier keeps their heart pure with love for their family and comrades. They stand strong with their brothers and sisters at their side, finding strength through helping others rather than just training. The poem calls on a brother to come together to build a foundation for the future and prepare for the hard day of freedom when they can die with a smile, knowing their sacrifices helped create a land of harmony.

To those who fight (Puisi ini ditujukan kepada wira wira yang

telah berjuang demi utk Negara dan Negeri Tercinta.

Beginning a journey with unseen ends,


Saluting your old life behind, you walk on.
Encasing your love deep in your heart,
Grasping to a single portrait in your hand.

Duty holds your head high,


As your loved ones wave goodbye.
Daily they pray for you
Hoping to help you make it though.

The sights scar in the head and hand,


No matter how far the land,
Keep thy heart pure,
For love is the cure.

You take up arms with brothers and sisters at your sides.


No gun, no bomb, no bullet, nothing! may break these ties
The strength of you come not through the hours of training
But though offering a hand when your comrades are falling.

May you stand strong in the face of pain,


May you hold the roots close to your heart.
May the sun shine gently upon you daily,
May our love sheild you from hurt.
May you rejoice when you are welcomed home as a hero
A HARD DAY TO DIE FREE

A HARD DAY TO DIE FREE

Brother come to my side,


Come to see a sunshine of a new day
A new day of struggling
Come to see the sun rays
That bears a half grain of hope.

Brother let's today be a foundation


For tomorrow to build a castle
A castle of less isolations and mistreatments
A castle that our son will live in harmony and joy
Come to my side brother.

Come to my side brother,


To prepare for that awaited day
The hard day to die free
The day that you will die while smiling
The day that your son will praise you with songs and claps
The day that women will cook a delicious meal for their husbands
The day that even infants will raise their tongues to speak.

Brother its the hard day to die free


The day that prisoners will no longer weep
The day that grasshoppers will regain their wings to fly
The day that ants will shout and make a land leaks
Its hard day to die free
Brother come to my side
Let's prepare for that day
THE HARD DAY TO DIE FREE.
