Jack Brummet Poem: Survival

1
Around and within you—
The cunning enemy
Calculates your fall,

And a traitor within
Beats in your chest.
Know when to stand and when to run.

2
You gather your friends
Around you
Like a shock of wheat,

Like a bulwark
Or a last ditch bivouac
In the cold rain and snow.
