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.
