Defense by Honor in the Reign of Impudence
"Impudence is stronger where defense is weaker."
— Marcus Porcius Cato the Younger, 1st century BC
Where ignorance is growing,
Bold arrogance will reign.
A herd, unworthy knowing,
Devours lies again.
They'll swallow wars and "plagues",
Embrace the grand deceit.
But Honor never begs,
Though sinking in defeat.
So wear the Helm of Honor—
Defend your Soul with pride.
And stand as one with others,
Whose truth is on their side.
For souls may yet be lifted,
If kindred hearts unite.
Don’t heed the world, it's twisted—
Deception veils the light.
Learn well to spot the fearless,
For few will still remain.
Among the lost and tearless,
Keep striving through the pain.
Though odds may seem mistaken
When cowards form their horde.
Your shield must not be taken—
They’ll never breach your sword.
To die with honor—glory!
No fate is worthier.
While madness tells its story,
And drives the herd to stir.
Let Honor be your answer,
You’ll find it in your soul.
Not in the slaves of cancer—
The blind, who fear control.
