Pyrrhic Victory

*The sword of Damocles and bitter regrets that come with ascending in an empire*
The battle won but at the ultimate sacrifice of self
Countless casualties, the bitter stains of conquest
To defend impossible heights, a chrome monopoly
Foundations so precarious, fall victim to a fool’s folly
War and campaign, decades of blood and sweat
To build capital, so easily poisoned by a foul breeze
Public mandated flagellation, spilled blood coagulating into stars
Mental fragility, caustic thoughts, uncertain if one will get so far
A pyrrhic victory
Relinquishing all that’s within
Victorious but defeated
Defeated but not destroyed
All achievements
Thrown into the furnaces of self-sabotage
Parasites reanimate
Defeated by triumph, eroded from within
Bound by inertia
No inoculation from internal destruction
Coalescing enmity
Bearing the diadem of wrath
What good is a crown
When the head that wears it can so easily be severed
What good is victory
When it destroys everything you love
But is this not the price of progress
To shed our marred and ugly skin
Striving forward, resolve calcifying
A warrior’s destiny to never give in

Rottweiler

*Romans pursue and win the Marcomannic campaign with Rottweilers imbued with lunar ferocity*
Loyal companions, hounds of Latium
Bred to war, side by side with armies
To guard the weak and eviscerate those who contest
Guardians of rome, heirs to our mother Lupa
Prying open the mouth of unyielding wilderness
Our campaign extends, like beams of golden light
Offer peace through subjugation, offer thine calloused knee
Or be stripped of flesh and bone, carrion for the dogs to feed
Rottweiler go forth
With an iron jaw
And primordial venom
Our eternal weapon
And here we are at the borders of dispute
Awaiting the sun’s retirement, a twilight hued with blood
Soldiers march at night, embers burn, flickering sanguine in the dark
With a will like an iron boar battering ram
We pursue our marcomannic war
Legion shielded, protected by rottweiler, martial hounds, forging the path
On the forest frontier we ambush the tribes
Divide and conquer the barbarian hordes
Moonlight metamorphosis, canines grow into lupine
War into the night as the full moon shines
