Just a poem I had in mind when thinking of Fit to Print.
 
S.W.O.R.D.

By Silkcuts”

Some Will Obtain Real Distinction,

Those forged in fiery conviction.

Family pride is cast in the core,

To shine of brilliance forever more.

Life cannot avoid the clash,

Breaking lives to end in flash.

A blade cut short,

 Life just a sport.

Some Will Obsess Raw Desire,

Playing with the quill of passion’s fire.

Cyrano’s curse of sharp tongue and mind,

Is a combination rare to find.

Life measured from blade to hilt,

Finding joy upon full tilt.  

Thrust forth, take life hollowed and bored.

We all live and die by the sword.
