A person becomes a warrior when he fights.
Against the rot that gnaws away at the life.
Tearing in long suffering.
Igniting burning anger amidst despair and helplessness.

Bitterness is too bitter to swallow.
Humiliation is too humiliating to hold.
Misery is too miserable to bear.
Pain is too painful to feel.

Tiredness is too tiring to force.
Emptiness is too empty to lament.
Futility is too futile to regret.
Confusion is too confusing to ponder.

That's all that's left when life is gnawn away.
Losing life is the same as dying.
Waiting for a slow painful death.
Drowning in self pity for an unfair fate.

Deciding to fight against rot is courageous.
To regain the life that was gnawn away.
To regain the honor that was trampled away.
To be able to live fully again with honor.

A person who fights has honor.
Fulfilling the nature of a warrior because of self respect.
When dying in the struggle means gaining the honor of a warrior.
When living in victory means gaining the life that was fought for.
