For The Boys

They looked at each other with hollow eyes. The muddy trench was filled with the remains of their regiment. Above them, the bullets whistled past.

“What d’ya say boys?”

“We goin’ over again?”

“For King and country!”

“Forget king and country, for the Boys!”

Cheering, they surged over the top.

President Obama, It’s Time

November 5, 2008 at 10:39 pm (Nipun) (, , , , )

I don’t know what the future holds , good or bad, but I know it’s time.

It’s time to regroup.

It’s time to make hope a reality.

It’s time for change.

The time for “Yes We Can” is over. The time for “Yes We Will” has just begun.

Not What You Were Expecting

The nightingale sang. The moon was full. The evening perfect.

“Will you make me the happiest man in the world?”

But this time, something was different.

He knelt there, waiting.

“No.”
