When losing is the only option

by Michael LoMonaco   Jul 8, 2016


Perfection says to win every battle,
But the opponent is too strong.

Your sword falls to the ground,
Powerless against the enemy.

Trying to retreat from combat,
Wounded in the line of duty.

Condemned by the ego,
Pride suffers from a powerful hit.

Surrendering to the war of cause,
When losing is the only option.
