The Warrior Poem by Michael Fischer

The fire burns in his stubborn eyes;
Eyes that project the story
of his unfaltering determination
and his unforgiving desperation.

He fights like a savage in the night
to be at the pedestal’s eminent height.
Fear? He knows of no such term,
for fear is what will get you burned.

He’s the man you love to hate;
The man you burn on your stake.
But there’s one thing you can’t deny;
He’s who you want when it’s on the line.
