A poem about what to fight for.
Fight not for thine King.
Fight not for thine people.
Fight not for thine ruler,
Nor kingdom or steeple.

Fight not for thine love.
Fight not for thine life.
Fight not for thine honor,
Nor thine freedom or strife.

Fight not for thine world.
Fight not for thine race.
Fight not for thine allies,
Nor thine palace or space.

Fight not for thine family.
Fight not for thine home.
Fight not for thine mind,
Nor thine thoughts or tome.

Fight not for thine values.
Fight not for thine fun.
Fight not when all is said.
Fight not when all is done.

Fight not for anything.
Fight not for anyone.
Fight not for some.
Fight not for none.

If you must fight,
Thus fight for all.
Fight for the future,
Not your enemy's fall.

Fight for thine enemy,
Fight for thine love,
Fight for the future,
Hold not thine self above.

Fight not for the fall of another,
If you needn't fight,
Fight not,
Fight not.
