Indeed,
no matter if I am unpragmatic,
life is a paradox:
there is a time
when the victor surrenders
to the vanquished
and, may be, prowess is a size-less robe.
Perhaps,
in real life,
those whose success
is in the bullet
their defeat is in it too
and, possibly, power is a formless chair.
Good one there... It's true, , , , he who lives by the knife will die by it

Lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and insightfully penned with conviction. Indeed those that kill with the sword shall die by the sword. I like the depth of the piece, it's food for thought. A beautiful poem bristling with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
