Ridding Against the Current

In the heart of the city, on a one-way street,
A soldier rode his motorcycle, his fate to meet.
Arrested and detained, for breaking the law,
But his action speaks volumes of what we all saw.

In a country torn by chaos and strife,
Where the normal has vanished, like a fleeting life,
The soldier's defiance, a mirror of our land,
Where rules are broken, by a powerful hand.

He rides against the current, a lone silhouette,
A symbol of resistance, we cannot forget.
Yearning for the day when all returns to the norm,
When peace and order will calm the raging storm.

But until that time comes, he'll face his plight,
A soldier riding against the flow, in broad day liight,
In his act, a reflection of our country's despair,
And the hope that one day, we'll breathe easy in the air.

So let us not forget the soldier's daring ride,
A reminder of the turbulence we cannot hide,
And strive for the day when our streets will reclaim,
The order and peace, restoring our nation's name.
