The Fight I Like – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 19, 2009

Like drums that come and beat and stop
Round and dizzy you reach the top.
Sweat and blood smear your harmless face.
To stand and fight is no disgrace.
Flame and strength will never be gone
Till honor and glory be done.

Then take the fire and fight again.
The brand is hot, the foe remains.
No victor wins.  There is no death.
No fallen foe takes his last breath.
Come now you fool to live this life.
No heroes here just daily strife.
