The Other Warrior Poem by Aaron Brown

The Other Warrior



taking the victory, let none escape
ensuring no vengeance takes shape
through murder, pillage and rape

basking in glory, steal the prize
never seeing the pain which lies
behind blind, defeated eyes

mired in mud, join in cacophony
heart hard, black and ugly
ignorant of the final irony

bathing in blood, exalt in battle
sword slaying enemies like cattle
never hearing your own death's rattle

The other warrior indeed, but at times he rears his ugly head in all of us. Very well done.
