War War War
Ease is to your own ruin,
to this fight at once,
Life offers no escape,
Fight you must.
No candies or featherbed on your way,
No comfort or ease along your path,
the dagger dangles over the head
like the Sword of Damocles,
why kiss your chains?
You are surrounded already,
death dares your resolves with a threat
to retire to fate is to be a crippled,
quit yourself as men
there is no resting yet,
there is no fence, why seat you still?
like a man fight.
Your foes unrelenting,
be not in bondage to the tyranny of Flesh,
The bait of retreat is attractive,
all cowards take this path.
and write their names in sand,
but the valiant must not.
The eyes to the goal,
Fight, like a man to victory,
With eyes towards the Light
Fight.
