I am the warrior-poet. I have grandeur dreams of a better world, but deep down I know, this dreary place which we all inhabit briefly is most likely not going to get much better during my lifetime, least of all, from my actions. It is not that I don't try to make a minute difference that a small, infinitesimally unremarkable peon in the sea of faces lost in their own troubled worlds, but sometimes, the cynic in me tells me it's all for nothing.
I like this quotation:
"It is up to the Warrior-Poet to balance the cruel realities of the earth, while living by the standards of the heavens."
