Pride
Epitomizing horror
Echoes its bleakest past
With willimg replication
Let perspective last
Breaking deadlocks
World bleeding inside
Now the tide is turning
In ever present pride
Strategies executed
All now beyond defeat
Analysis, no rise to flaws
See failure as retreat
Rearguard advantage
Third battle forges close
Forceful and evasive
So proud, yet morose
Seeds of future discord
Suspicion, fear and hate
Never lying dormant
One by one negate
No last offensive
All resistance ceased
Forced down the final path
Forwards into peace
