The warrior continues to fight <br />Though his body be riddled with wounds <br /> <br />Desperately clinging to the last breath of life <br />He gives all that he has <br /> <br />The objective worth <br />The sacrifice <br /> <br />Only death to raise the cry of victory <br />Or yield the white flag of surrender. <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in Zinos, July 2000)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-warrior-9/
