Warrior Sonnet

Listen up troops, some words before battle There is no need to fret or be afraid Even as the walls around us rattle The enemy's prowess will be betrayed Yes, they may out number us three to one With armor that is of much better grade Our oppressors think we will turn and run A graver mistake has never been made This is our home, built from blood, sweat and tears Hearts and souls forged better than any blade We have worked so hard to banish our fears Prepared immensely to defeat this raid Raise your weapons high, let the arrows fly The time for us to give it all is nigh!
