Last Stand

Dear and dread with all the bloodshed,
Mighty but mere ponder those you hold dear,
Think but quick using your head,
Brave and save those that are near,

Stealth is wealth in a deadly game,
Hold and be bold to fight another day,
Hope, to the pope it will be the same,
Run not for fun nor fame,

Bear and tear and remain though worn,
Sleek and peek a deadly hide and seek,
Swear and wear everything torn,
Rush and hush, then risk a peep.
