The bare blade flashes
Blood spills out on the sand
Life has ended because a boy
Had to prove he was a man
Pride outmatched strength
And death outlasts us all
He tried so hard to stand
In the end only to fall
On the end of my sword
He came face to face with death
And now ashes and tears
Are all that is left
Of a future bright with promise
If only it'd been allowed to grow
And when his mother asks me why
My only answer is I do not know
