Battle Cries

I'm always known to walk alone

But am I really strong?

When wars arise I will lead

But who will come along?

When I die who will cry?

Sing my victory here and there

Who will despair over me?

Who will even care?

I've been known for my brains

Devotion to the books

Tell me now what all this gains

In a world of fun and looks

This war is not for attention

Yet that's why the lone soldiers sing

I am one who knows affliction

Yet never heard of such a thing

I like this poem a lot. It tells a strong truth in a few stanzas. Great work!
