I’m really excited to share something special with all of you today. Recently, my 12-year-old surprised me with a rap poem/song that he wrote. While much of his writing revolves around typical teenage topics like school, friends, and exams, this particular piece stood out to me for its depth of emotion and reflection. I was truly taken aback by his thought and creativity. It’s moments like these that remind me of the incredible capacity of young minds to express themselves in unique and powerful ways. Without further ado, I’m proud to present his work to you all. I hope you find it as touching and inspiring as I did. Enjoy!
Especially dedicated to the brave soldiers who fight for us:
Firearms in his arms,
Never thought he’d come so far
But there he is, protecting us
Cuts to the face, bullets to the guts
But he, that soldier doesn’t retreat
He never believes he’s beat
He’s going to keep attacking till he can
Until he gets those intruders off his land
But they have a nuclear arsenal
That doesn’t stop our soldiers being an obstacle
It’s remarkable, phenomenal
How they do something impossible
He’s on the ground, his life is at stake
But nothing can stop him, not even an quake
He’s gonna keep firing till he gets those people out
Even if it takes weeks, he’s gonna fight throughout
He’s never gonna give up, that’s for sure
He’s gonna take every bullet and endure
If it means it’ll keep everyone safe and secure
And if he goes down, he goes down with honour
But he’s not dying, atleast not tonight
Because till his last breathe, he’s gonna fight
He’s gonna defend our country and our right
To sleep happily without any fright
He’s been shot twice, but he isn’t going down
He knows going down means he’ll let down the town
His side’s already lost so many men
And everyone wants this nightmare to end
But the courageous Captain isn’t surrendering
He’s gonna keep firing till he got bullets in that thing
And that’s when he gets to know the painful truth
There’s only one way to save the country’s youth
He puts on a heavy jacket and zips it to the top
And he jumps over the barricade but he’s shot
He takes a bullet to the chest, and mutters,’Goodbye son’
The jacket was a bomb, and ‘the battlefield is stunned!’
The bomb goes off and enemy all die
And it’s a pain he didn’t say his goodbye
The Captain’s wife cries when she gets the country’s flag
But the seventeen year old son observes from the back
A tribute for all the brave men is organised
Where they say great things about the people who fought
Who were brave, courageous and were taught
To never give up in the enemy’s face
The soldiers had battled nights and days
Everybody seemed to cry, except the Captain’s son
The way his dad died, that gave him something to learn
The next day, the mother woke up with a note next to her
It said in black ink,’To my beautiful mother’
The boy had went off to become a soldier
For sitting around, doing nothing made him feel tortured
The kid trained all day in the scorching sun
And when he recieved his badge, he smiled and said,
‘Thank you Papa. But now it’s my turn’
