Victory's cost is hard to pay
#WritcoPoemPrompt18
I walk across the golden sands,
Leaving footsteps of my memories,
Follow me across the lands,
Let's celebrate our victories.

With injured hands the battle is won,
With heavy heart our friends are gone,
The battle marked as the hundredth one,
Now is the time to struggle rather to mourn.

The thirst of peace is quenched;
with this cruel bloodshed,
Our territory is safe, the boundaries trenched,
Let us look forward for a new journey ahead.

The victory's cost was hard to pay,
It's the bravery's blood that helped us thrive,
Let not this civilization to their efforts betray;
The sacrifices of million minds will fuel our strive.
