do not succumb
to some craving of
a hero's glory
perched atop
the miseries of
victories
nor forage
to save
nor seek
to pave ways
to graves of
enemies
courage does not drip in
lust
but in hatred for for war
flourishes in clips on August
winds
nourished by just
friends
who burnish
heart
in skirmishes of sin
not chasing calamitous wins
but driven by reality
that there is
no other way to begin
