Literature Text

What others fear, we face alone
When there's no flesh, we feed on bone
When others run, we stand and fight
When most can't see, we need no light

Where all things end, we tend to last
For when we fall, we get up fast
Where others drown, we hold our breath
We find a way where most find death

We never rest, we never sleep
We grit our teeth when others weep
What ruins most, we can survive
Until our death, we stand alive
A poem, for a change. A small personal war hymn designed to be engraved on my tombstone one day. Greetings to anyone who relates.
