(Originally published as To Live or To Die For, September 28, 2017)
There are battles in the greenest fields
and in the bluest seas;
corpses soak in bloods of their own–
to men of dignity and valor
they belong.
There are battles in the wildest forests
and in the most sacred skies;
destitute remains unidentified
noble souls soar to heaven
mightier than the mightiest eagles fly.
But the toughest battles
are fought hard in a hell deep inside
by medalless warriors defeated by rotten pride–
fatalities of truth–
buried alive.
Powerful words Aina. Hope you’re keeping well.
