If I’m Forced To Fight
If I’m forced to fight, I’ll fight.
I’ll fight for what is mine
I’ll fight with all my might
I’ll give up everything.
But while I still have
Life in me, I’ll raise
My hands in the air.
I’ll fight for freedom
I’ll fight for love
I’ll fight for my possession
I’ll Fight from dawn to dusk
I’ll fight with all my strength
But while I still have
Life in me, I’ll raise
My hands in the air.
I fight to live, not to die.
I fight to fight again,
Not to fight to death.
I fight to save my life,
Not to bring an end.
I’ll have this in mind
Whenever I fight for
What is mine
Our past heroes fought till the last drop of their blood but they fought for nothing. Millions lost their lives, yet nothing was achieved. Why fight again? Why expose so many lives to another wreckage?
If we lost in the past, what makes us think we can win now? What makes us think we won’t end up losing again?
I know we must keep fighting until we get what we desperately need but is life of so many worth sacrificing for nothing?
All I do everyday is pray. Let God have His way and set the captive of the mighty free without battle.
Let there be no war.

I'm a food scientist who has chosen the path of creative writing- the one thing which comes to me naturally.
Back in 2013, my love for teaching young learners propelled me into picking teaching as a career. I taught English, Maths and Science in the United Arab Emirates where I lived for ten years. Right now, I live in Coal City, a beautiful hilly area of my country Nigeria.
My website Fiez-writer is a product of my extreme desire to share my writing with the world. Here, I share fiction, poems, thoughts and writing tips.
A huge part of my life is spent with my lovely family and I'm a proud mother to three brilliant kids.

Self defense is not a sin, fight for what you want or what you don’t want will take place

Your words are strong and relevant. Every life is precious. And a fight should contribute to the greater good. The will to fight must be strong, but it should be for a valid reason. Even if death is the outcome, the sacrifice must be in the name of upliftment. Those who benefit must not forget…
In certain situations, peace is merely an illusion.

Spot on! That’s exactly my point. We should go for war when the win to loss is 50-50 at least. It’s not cowardice to stay away from a force mightier than one until one is prepared enough to contend with such power.
