True to Nature
written by: Dean Robbins
Men take up arms to battle in the Sun,
anticipating minor victories won
o’er valiant, steadfast foes who, if they could,
would laugh and say our blades do little good
as far as cutting them down to their size.
For soon enough the downtrodden shall rise
and sounds of battle fill the air again.
Oppression humbles neither fields nor men.
