I just sit and absorb
As wisdom flows forth
On how to be brave
But not stupid.
I see how to gather energy
And expel it to defend,
How to be deadly
And beautiful all at once.
Elbow to the head,
Heel to the knee,
Thumb to the eye
If you can manage it.
Drunks can fight through pain
And the high go on forever,
And don't you dare
Try to take on a knife
Unless you can take cuts
Where you won't die.
So rule number 1:
If they're gonna hurt you,
Hurt them first,
Hurt them fast,
Hurt them hard,
And then run.
