The L(o)ast Frontier
And, the evening was beginning to fade away the triumphs and failures for the particular Battle day.He was feeling all sick and tired with a day full of battles.Though, he had been the last person to enter the army, the Dictator had made it a strict rule that one from the family should serve the army.
Initially, the idea had fancied him many chances to serve for his country.But, lateron, when it all had happened, he had to admit that his country was completely greedy to attack and acquire the land of the neighbouring tiny country.Though, he had tried to stop himself from helping his country hurt the neighbours, he had very less chances to protest for the same.
And, yes, he had enrolled himself into the army and this present day had been his 7th day of War. He could see through his brown eyes that lots of lives had been lost during the day.And, he had found himself one of the culprits for the loss of lives.
From the very first day of his battle-field, he had vowed to himself this would be the last time he would ever appear for his country's army.He hated the whole system of war and though the need for protecting our own land remained stationary and imperative.Silently, he had prayed for his country's defeat, being a nice citizen who considered other country's benefits as well.
And, all of a sudden, it happened the next day.It was the eighth day of war and suddenly his side were losing lot of armymen with the introduction of tanks aplenty by the so-called tiny country.He wondered what fortune would it require to the tiny country to make or buy such tanks and why his country never depended on such tanks to protect itself, if not to attack the neighbours.
He tried his heart-out to be loyal to his own country by being brave in the front..But, all he left with was, the loss of lives of his compatriots.Then, came the announcement from his side that the war had been lost and the tiny neighbour country has acquired his country and from the next day onwards his country would be a republic effectively electing the President & Prime-Minister through Peoples' Elections.
He silently thanked God that his prayer had been heard by him.
And, so, it was his Lost and Last Frontier.
