Live

No armor strong enough
To protect me
None impervious to the
wound of death
So throw back my head
Scream like a Pict
Running full being
into battle
Until the end
And live

I thought this poem was good when I read it a week ago. I still like it now. :) It might be even better if you removed the second-to-last line, however, because I don't think you need it. Altogether, I know the feeling the poem is communicating, and I think it is authentically done.

(I am commenting critically, as requested on the phone.) :)
