Calling All Soldiers

They fight.
I strive.
They win.
I lose.

Their battle begins
when the first shot is fired.
My battle begins
when I open my eyes.

They fight.
I strive.
They win.
I lose.

Their weapons are guns.
My weapons are my words
They use their muscles.
I use my mind.

They fight.
I strive.
They win.
I lose.

Their enemies
sneak up behind them.
My enemy
gets up in my face.

They fight.
I strive.
They win.
I lose.

They watch wear they step.
I step on everyone's toes.
They wear heavy armor.
I wear my attention.

They fight.
I strive.
They win.
I lose.

Their battle lasts
till only one side stands.
My battle lasts
till the next one begins.

They win.
I lose.
They go home.
I pursue.
