I once saw a man
carry a child
out of a burning building;
and his face was burned
so badly
his village couldn't
recognize him;
I thought him
to be the child's
father
rescuing his daughter;
but
he had a blood feud
with the actual father;
each man
swore to **** the other
to maintain their honor;
yet he risked his life
for the child
of a man
he hated
more than anything;
because light
will always
break the dark
Just another war story.  Sometimes it is in the most tragic that people have the courage to be the most honorable
