Warriors

Warriors Horses and warriors Shields and amour Fighting for a cause Avoiding as much loss Shedding blood is a must Battles must be fought and won on the battlefield How many men will be killed? For a country For a nation For self belief Spears and shields Tools of war Making history Alliance and victory A treasured sword Held by a courageous man Known by his name as warrior Failure is not an option A countries pride is at stake Bows and arrows Fighting for a name Decorated with strings of fame A man must do what he must Even if it is for a mediocre cause Now wars are won and fought with guns The true warriors are the thinkers and not the fighters The true warrior is not the man who dies But the one who stays alive The one who can plan and strategise Analyse and fantasies a vision which is bound to come true © Sylvia Chidi- 17 October 2005
