It’s so hard
to feel strong
walking away from a fight.
When the last
of the adrenalin fades,
you’ll know the choice you made
was right.
There’ll be
another fight,
another day.
Pride giveth,
and pride taketh away.
A long story that will never change.
Turn the other cheek
and get shot in the back;
that’s the way they play the game.
Nothing’s fair in love and war,
and peace is the only thing
worth fighting for.
The colors on every flag will fade
and the reason for the meaning
will at one time pass away.
All we have is today.
How do we defend this place?
Diplomacy is always preferable
over battles fought,
but what happens when the wolves
harass the flock?
Therefore, we make peace,
but plan to do,
rather than not.
We must be the line
at which the danger stops.
HG – 2021
