HEROES OF STUPOR
Heroes of stupor prove useful in time
unwittingly upon favor from absurd chance
Fittingly half-witted though still in prime
Bellicose martyrs seek Achilles and find
That whitewash dragons won't die by romance
Heroes of stupor prove useful in time
Caustic nobility makes victory a crime
For gallant men breed Grendels with doves in dance
Fittingly half-witted though still in prime
Ten thousand strong bleed pigs for a sign
while war paint from gods intimidates from glance
Heroes of stupor prove useful in time
Galleries of braves are stripped most unkind
Red badges revoked and optimistic stance
Fittingly half-witted though still in prime
So flee my champion, no will to the wise
If all else save, cherish, plunder your laurel, don't grimace
Heroes of stupor prove useful in time
Fittingly half-witted though still in prime.
