The Song of Battles

The song of life is replete with pain
This and hate are a recurring refrain

Freedom, true freedom, is elusive for all
Any man's measure is never enough

The world is made better by struggle.
Progress is the song of the battle

If struggle commences without hate
Such struggle is already a victory
A victory of the spirit of mankind

And when such a struggle arises
All the daemons and furies shall gather

And try to ensnare the combatants
And have them do their foul bidding

Such a challenge man must face
To build a better world
To reach for freedom

And this is yet another refrain
And in its wake shall be a brighter day

When the battles all cease, I will lament
For this day marks the end of the world
