I find and lift My Spartan Shield - for Resolute Defence, I arm myself with trusted Bow - against a horde that is so dense, Arrows tipped with toxic coat - that glistens deadly glow, With Sword to hand - a sharpened blade - of which to fight the foe, Dawn breaks though the haze of mist - I see what is in store, My Heart beat quicker, as I wait - for Bloody bitter War, Though I take courage from my faith - and Conscience I hold true, And stand as thunder noise it nears - For my Life I'd give for you. (Excerpt from my 'work in progress' - "Pass only when I fall")
