War

What possible course of action,
Is there to take,
When you are fighting,
A battle,
In which,
The odds of defeat,
Far outweigh the odds of victory.
When every decision you make,
Doesn't appear to tilt the scales,
In your favor.
Should one still continue to fight,
Even when all signs,
Point to an inevitable letdown.
Should one struggle onward,
Praying for the day,
In which a battle will be won,
That results,
In the tides of the war,
Being shifted.
Will the external forces of opposition,
Still persist,
In doing all they can,
To see you fail?
How many paths are there to take?
Which one is the right one?
The one to choose?
Maybe all of them lead to certain victory.
Perhaps all of them,
To agonizing defeat.
