The Rockets’ Song (Free verse) by Dovina

Alignment with this war has awakened hope, for war is life to us, not death— romantic violence, chivalrous at last under technology’s rule. The President called as Pope Urban did, preaching the first Crusade, admonishing us, who waged wars for self-interest and plunder, to remake ourselves— Soldiers of Democracy, achievers of stature, of warrior nostalgia. I was fired with utopian ideals then, engaged in the tragedy of war, among frauds and adventurers —now a lingering silence—

Of course you don't *need* to assert it. I don't *need* to wear Westbury suits. But I do so anyway because they are superior to other brands. If you have greater worth, it is inherently desirable to make others recognise the greatness of your worth, then watch as they become painfully aware of their own shortcomings. Only then can you bask in the swollen crotch of an ectsasy.
