The Battle

Clashing swords
And railing words
Booming cannons
Shattering battalions
Recoiling guns
The scene all burns
In fierce rattle
The noise of battle

Losing or wining
Never fretting
Thousands do fall
Yet will I not stall
Quick to the order
No rest for yet another
For Armchair Generals
Never win tough battles
