They did one thing,
And no matter what else has happened since,
I can’t get away from,
The one thing that war does best. War made me a fighter,
And fighters are taken seriously. When I see my fellow warriors,
Come home to those they love and cherish,
To be told their love,
Isn’t good enough to certify.
I know to fight. When I see the abuse of power,
And I see my fellow citizens being murdered,
While others blame them, or a system,
Or anyone but those standing behind the gun.
I know to fight. I know to fight better than anything.
I know the passion of violence.
I know the pride in silent suffering.
I know how to change rules given circumstance.
I know how to change everything. The system creates fighters.
I will bring them a fight.
I know my enemy,
He is comfortable and unprepared. I am hardened and focused.
I am a product of stress and forge.
They made me a fighter.
The one thing that war does best.
I will make them a fight.
