Battle Trail

When in the lead,
I'll fight them all,
But you will bleed,
Before you fall.

Here they come,
Battlefront still dry,
For evil's fun,
Innocence will die.
Is there no one,
Who can fortify?

Burning in the skies,
Sacred remnants you defiled,
As they rain on our demise,
Under waves of foes we fight.

Infinite trails of the blood we lose,
Shall someday lead to the battle's clues,
As I leave my trail,
I make sure it stays!

I see an inner spiritual battle going on here; but it can be any number of wars fought .. i am a little confused by your closing line ... not sure what it is your protagonist is making sure stays?? there are many dangers seeking truth within .. we are already fraught with weaknesses of fear, pride, lust and greed ... we can easily be led astray .. deceived .. one needs a firm foundation .. the Faith of a mustard seed that is the weapon one needs .. and will turn the Light on .. which of itself dispels darkness .. without our feeble strength at all. ;) i think your poem is thought provoking ... its important to engage the battle ... any other option will result in our being overrun ... sometimes to the destruction of our very souls.

Thank you so very much for sharing your profound thoughts with this review, Mr. E. The closing line was just the speaker proclaiming to make sure to leave a lasting impression on the battlefield through his 'trail'. Interesting mention about the mustard seed. Was that a reference to something? The battle has engaged, as you said, nevertheless. 🙏

ohhhhhhhhh! of course!! so obvious now :)))))))) must have needed my second cup of coffee when I read .. the mustard seed of Faith is from a teaching of Jesus Christ .. Matthew 17:20 "....Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." :) best of the day to ya!
