Does the color of a Warrior's skin make him any less a warrior?
Does it keep him from fighting for and protecting his land and "all" races?

I have to say I was quite overwhelmed by the deepness, but I have to ask if it is your own work as it sounds similar to the works of Sun Tzu, The Five Rings author and general eastern philosophy. I don't say this to be rude but to try and understand what angle you are coming from.

And as for the comments by BlackNProud, well it should be more like BlackNLoud. It seems some folks are frustrated by deepness and rather than giving a half decent critique, they seem to grasp for the lowest comment denominator in the English language 'Vulgarisms'. This says more about the personusing themthan it does about the work they aremaking a poor effort of denigrating.

The reason I singled out the those two lines is because I don't understand exactly what you are saying. Any clarification would be appreciated.

Keep elevating and Keep it coming!

Nicely scribed.
I liked your format. It was layed out different, thats what makes you unique as a Poet. Write on!!!!
Your discription of self was beautiful.
the ending was soul touching.
Your son will be proud. You express yourself as a true man.
Poetic respect.....
