Altruism

[mayneverhave]

Altruism
Was the finest lie
Ever told
To the yearning hearts of man.

For virtuous
Sacrifice is no-
ble indeed
When your body lays buried,

And Hector's sword
Was cracked and shattered
On the wild
And clamorous plains of Troy.

But consider
The wrath and fervor
Of unchecked
Zeal, and the glory it wrought.


Any thoughts?

Indeed it is beautifully written and of course speaks of something that is true
