Caution

ˈkôSH(ə)n

men will not deny

men will not deny 
the commands of a noble 
personality

my perspective on 
the outcome depends on my 
angle of vision

karma operates 
with utmost efficiency 
during a crisis

safer to be judged
by these legendary deeds
than by my results

absence of nonsense
alone is insufficient
argument for truth

this new confidence 
is no more likely valid 
than my past mistakes

endless grinding work
enfeebles and stupefies
the rational soul

mistrust the impulse 
to harbor an opinion  
about everything

my beloved is 
not the only reaper who 
stalks this battlefield

the glory of war 
drowns the shrieks of the wounded 
in lethal moonshine
