Ragged Glory

Less is more.
Settle a score.
Foot to the floor.

Ragged glory.
Tells a story.
A different category.

Down by the river.
Trying not to shiver.
Arrows in the quiver.

Love to burn.
Taken our turn.
Little concern.

For the others in line.
Withered on the vine.
Or matured like wine.

A fable.
On the table.
Purchasable.

The price we paid.
Was worth the trade.
For a life high grade.
