The fight

"Why bother? We have enough

Cans to last us a siege

And water to have us laugh

At the very face of the liege!

There is no darkness we fear

There is no man that can us bend.

As long as we live we will leer

As long as we breathe there is no end.

They will see, those barbarians,

What it takes to be a man,

And to feel every human sentiment,

What it takes to shoot a man,

What it is to have delicacy and nuance,

What you earn by curbing your essence.

What they are, as they stand behind our walls,

Is beastly, coarse, and unlikely to make us fall."
