Fighter

Slow as a snail might 

He learned how to fight 

Ego clouded his mind 

The heart stayed kind 

Walked out with life 

Returned with half of a knife 

Blood caked his body foul 

Everyone missed the tears on his soul

Tears fell as rain from the clouds

Just as they did from the crowds 

Moan they did out loud 

He ended covered in a shroud 

- Sachin 

Flesh

Iron machinery human flesh 

Sparks amongst the living 

Iron heart human flesh 

Beats amongst the living 

Heat of the sun touching the flesh 

Scorching in the warmth 

Heat of the water touching the flesh 

Cooling in the warmth 

Sweat forming on the flesh 

Working hard in the world 

Sweat forming money from flesh 

Family living safe in the world
