The Warrior Scholar
by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)
Don’t buy into the delusions of youth There is only victory, not compromise. For every white flag raised by truth Is another red flag raised by lies. Don’t bother trying to run Your problems will just get bigger. Placing a flower in the barrel of your enemy’s gun Won’t stop them from pulling the trigger. There is no dichotomy Between a clenched fist and an open mind. Fighting is necessary to retain your autonomy Be a warrior and a scholar combined. Aristotle said that pride is the crown of virtue Honor and integrity must be its jewels. For excellence must have no curfew Greatness is not a sweepstakes for fools.
