A Warrior Spirit

A noble warrior 'spirit' cannot 'alone' transcend or ameliorate,
As in absence of 'crafted' sheathing it dwells in peril;
Where negotiations galvanize only to conquer throne,
Seasons would come & go, riveted in 'deferral'.

Indeed, collective notions on lands invoked checks & balances,
But were too concealed with idiomatic cravings & directives;
And as needed 'amendments' were gobbled or overruled,
In assemblage of crowded paths with selfsame reeking perspectives.

Though once in labs conceptualized should '"now" be availed'?
If yes, Skepticism inherited shalt be unmounted;
Where social credit structure or even 'free will', devolved,
Under doctrine of anything excessive, when chanted, shouted.

Thus a warrior 'spirit' could become feeble or stumble,
When enwreathed with murk or labyrinth;
Forged aegis from lore, is a necessity?
Which anchors the deed to buttress with plinth.
