Warrior

Thousands of years of civil living have tamed the human mind We make our laws and behavior codes to serve us one and all We live in peace and acceptance of the vagaries we find To protect society and ensure that we do not fall And so for the most part we behave as model citizens But deep inside from primordial times rests a sleeping beast A solitary creature formed from the ancient denizens That is called Warrior - at home with either the battle or feast In the beginning the Creator pondered what He had done And He saw that it was a violent place - not safe for Man So he gave Man an instinct which he called Warrior or "The One" That would be charged with Survival and would always be at hand As the millenia have passed and Man has become sedate Do not be deceived that the Warrior may have become docile He is as much to human instinct as Creation to fate And when Man's survival is threatened The Warrior turns hostile So we may call it survival instinct or just common sense But when the Warrior is unleashed then no other name will do He is charged with your survival and you are in good hands thence So if you pray at night say thanks for the Warrior inside you. 7-10-20 Contest: Warrior Sponsor: Silent One
