The Battle
Once I lost
Half a battle
In half a war
Won half a victory
Took
Half the glory
Stood half
My ground
Faced half the
People
Slept half
A dream
Lived half a
Life
And wondered
Half the time
Why I bothered
At all
To fight half
My bitterness
For half the things
I never wanted
In the
First place
For half a world
That I didn't believe
In
For most of
The time

Punchy, and sadly too true of so many of us.
I'm surprised that you have not had more feedback on your work; but commenting has tailed off remarkably this year. Anyway, I think WOL does reach a wide reading audience, even if individuals no longer respond so often.
