Thursday Photo Prompt: The Chest #write photo
What’s inside this ancient chest?
That’s what an old man told
Who bought this box of secrets here.
“Accounts of wars, chronicles attest
 Moist uniforms, commander’s behest
Those who were buried, taking rest
Swords of kings, helmets of soldiers
Blood stained arrows pierced through chest
Rust coated knives, broken shovels
Saga of bravery, story of blood test
Tears and pain of kith and kin
Tortured souls wounded and dead
Crushed dreams, young widows
Kings turned monks to fulfill quest
The chest is like archives to dead and arrest
How can you miss a tainted crest !”
Let’s find out those magical keys
And open this corroded mystery
Oh, the keys were bent and pressed
The old man had thrown it away and said,
“Don’t take the war devil out
If you want a peaceful nest.”
