Griffin

Battle Cry




blood, like fire
must be constantly fed
on a diet of violence
whether your meal be
law and order
self-defense
a perverse pleasure 
in the agony of others

it is easy to philosophize
on the merits of battle
until one enters the fray
academia is not a shield
swords cleave through books
as a knife through butter
all things are forgotten
save the will to live
the want to defend
the want to destroy

life, like faith
must be constantly nourished
from those things deep inside
whether your need be
a place in your heaven
a fear of hell
here is your weapon
the time is now
