The Way
Twin suns tread the skies
casting double shadows
on the bleak land below
home to men--
and women--
with heated passions to rival
the suns' own fires,
spirits tempered
by the land's own flame--
and fate's own wrath--
which to any lesser being
would be death's calling
but instead has become
a way of life--
and path of pride--
