Pyrrhic Victory
by
Stephan Hovell
A war won,sake of battle lost,
irreparable harm,the critical cost,
never the less,it had to be done,
integral reason,is how it begun,
who has a cause?and who just fights?
as someone plees and someone spites,
surely goodness must rule the day,
stranger than fiction,the things they say,
instincts guide,a tower battle worn,
love hate boundaries,midst a melee of scorn,
a classic gets cheapened,beyond recognition,
but it will survive,atrocious attrition.
