Crutch

Clouds above, sheltered
Breeze around, cheered
Sand beneath, smiled

As he walked amongst
Focus of their attention
Purpose of their existence

Like a man, he walked
Ahead, his nation waited
Behind, its enemies lay dead

He continued to walk
Driven by pride
Crippled by pain

He walked, on two legs
One with life
And one without
