one more lash
targets the bleeding back
skin peels away
to reveal steel underneath
the fiery eyes
burn brighter –
burn with purpose
after each strike
meant to cripple and singe
stumbling through rubble
fighting with
broken teeth and infected nails
as long as feet may carry
as long as spirit prevails
to the end of corruption,
to the dawn
of mankind!
on!
On!
ON!
