" If you kow the enemy, and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles "
Sun Tzu
........................................................................................................................................................................................
The Crusader knight sets off on his trusted steed again
to do battle with the gathering forces of darkness once more
he is a seasoned warrior, who knows the ways of war
experience has taught him, you must mix up your tactics to prevail
to do the unexpected, throws the enemy into dissaray and confusion
and means you can predict his each and every move
for a modern day soldier is equipped for a battle royale
the keys to victory are diverse, there is no golden rule
suffice to say to obtain superiority
you must be absolutely certain of conquering your greatest enemy, fear
he executes his battle plan, with precision like accuracy
severing the opposition's supply lines, and striking with sheer conviction
psychologically damaging, your opponent way deep down inside
the knight of arms is ultra confident, for his preparation is meticulous
the war is already won, secured within his mind
and as the hostilities are started, the winning strategy takes effect
fortune favors the brave, and flexibility triumphs everytime
and on the grand chess board of life,
this knight will always checkmate the king

Well done, Peter
love and peace
Especially the phrase: "and striking with sheer conviction."
Sometimes finese has to be tossed out the window, so to speak, when one is pursuing their convictions.
Until one pursues something passionately themselves, at the cost of being ridiculed or misunderstood, they will never know the great joy of living on the edge of expectancy in the hopes of a brighter and more definitive tomorrow.
Good job!

precious man, this is so true is the victory of the battle to those that always seek light, and truth…This can be accomplished on earth , yet earth school is just what it is - a classroom of learning. And if everyone had the grace and love you had we would all be at love and peace within, no need to harm others. I saw the Al Qeada on television yesterday and they said their number one agenda is world hate for people everywhere. I am convinced it is their laws of hatred they are taught as small children. That was the "root".. Gosh, what troubled people to hate that much, that they can’t help but hate themselves…I cannot even imagine it. Maybe when they see their life review in Heaven they will see just how sad they made our loving Father and they will feel sad they did what they did… Prayers and more prayers… Just as you have said before their day is coming where they will face God and I’m sure it won’t be very comfortable… You know the human carnality of ego, pride is massive. And yes it’s carnal, carnal, carnal…That is why many live not by spirit, but through carnality…Your devotion to the human cause of love and humanitarian causes continue to astonish me. Your heart is truer than the rarest gold….
I have rounded up some beautiful quotes I know you’ll really like about the light within us … Enjoy and have a wonderful day… (((Love & Peace, Dove ))))
We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light. ~Mary Dunbar))))
There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton ))))
The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light. ~Felix Adler))))
When you possess light within, you see it externally. ~Anaïs Nin ))))))
Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light. ~Norman B. Rice ))))
The windows of my soul I throw
Wide open to the sun.
~John Greenleaf Whittier
