Pyrrhic

 Pyrrhic you

And your victory that is

Mate

An enemy awaits and the

War grinds on

You can stand and cheer and accept

All the praise and the medals

Of those misled smiles beneath

You can gloat all you want but remember

Remember Pyrrhus

At least he knew the score right off

He didn't bask and roar

Unlike you

Mate

You gotta climb down off there soon

See what comes

What aid

The armour of rose petals and boasts

Grants you
