Plight of the dagger
Plight of the dagger
The dagger, a piece of cruel metal
Snuffing out lives
Precious and otherwise
A witness to history
Old and new
The warrior prince
Who plunges the dagger
Deep into the flesh
Knows not
the dagger is double edged
Long past the war
After the blood has dried
Tears trickle on to the sword
But the stains of blood
Now hard to cleanse
