Analysis of A Glass of Fire
A real soldier,
never knew where and when
he is going to die--and die
for his country or for a fair cause,
is to grow and to spread hope and
courage to the new generation.
A real soldier,
born frequently as fire in the water;
By wisdom and knowledge always knew
when to reach the front line
where the flag must be hoisted.
A real soldier,
die for his country or for a fair cause,
is to raise monumentally the patriotism
into the coward minds . . .
