a life in perpetual anger
has a cost, but it's own just reward
to slash at the constant injustice
wielding the double-edged sword
take care not to get cut to pieces
the scars can take so long to heal
aim at the hardiest of dragons
remember they're certainly real
when another may take up your sabre
though you may have done the least
you're a part of the continuing effort
to once and for all slay the beast
Man has potential for greatness
It's ourselves we must overcome
Perhaps one fine day we'll be worthy
But I fear we have only begun
