No way I can win

As here I sit,

I await the next hit.

Three men against one,

The pain has just begun.

As I lay under this unyielding sun,

I wonder how this has begun.

Surely it was all just a bit of fun?

And now there's nowhere left I can run.

There is no way I can win,

And yet I've never given in.

And so the moment they relent,

That's when I begin to vent.

As I rise and begin to stand,

"What are you doing?" they demand;

That's when I strike, quick as a viper and sure as a sniper,

I hit out right at his jugular.

There may be no way for me to win,

But at least I've erased his stupid grin.

I step back for a moment;

I see the man collapse from the blow I sent.

Now I know that they'll be hell bent,

To make sure that all my blood is spent.

For sure I'm in a worse position than before,

But that's all my prides ever been good for.

There is no way I can win,

- And yet; there's no way I could ever give in.
