Final Notice

Final Notice

They say that the blood of the battle is
thicker than the water.
What then to do
when bleeding and thirsty
in the eyes of gods and men alike?
I can go without water for a while.
I can let my blood flow.
So I shall.
Instead of slaking my thirst
or nursing my wounds,
I will toil.
I will sweat
and bleed
and starve.
There might then
be a chance
that someone will
notice.

~J.A.D
