Rules for a battle

Life is a struggle, every breath is a struggle, a war;
You are up against the world and a part of you too;
There are no exceptions, no comrades, no bar;
If fought with a clear mind, wounds will be few;

Fight not for power, money, name or fame;
Plan your moves well, strategy is the key to the game;
Fight for the truth, fight for your heart and you will get the glory;
Victory shall be yours and those you defeat will be sorry;

Fight for what is right, fight for what is good for all;
For evil never prevails for long and pride has a fall;
Dare to fight till the end, run the last mile;
At the victory post the Creator will greet you with a smile.
