Hatred walks
hand in hand
with glory
striking swiftly
from the shadows
seen as patriotism

Sad how patriotism involves so much hatred and violence. True, there is peace. But from navitism stems rivalry and competition, etc.
How can there be glory with so much death?
good write

Wow.. deeply powerful! I love the idea of hatred walking hand in hand with glory-- great alliterations and metaphor. Very attention grabbing, loaded with immense meaning

strong six lines
Aww, there's no glory without treason. A part of me is a bit offended by the last line. I guess that's how you know the strike was effective
