Blind Desire:

Blind Desire

The strength of a man is to found in his heart,
and not in his arms or legs, - Using "nor" here is much stronger
to that which his will clings he'll never depart Use "from" instead of "to"
no matter how much reason begs!
He will live for a belief, he'll die for a cause,
this iron will's his greatest virtue,
he'll wrestle with demons vile without pause
for that which his heart holds as true
And sacrifice all that he has on a whim
in fiery feats of integrity;
but truth is a phantom, ghastly and grim,
when his reasons are insanity; I would use "insane" here
See brothers fight brothers for forests and fields,
treasuring but greed and pride,
And women are raped "for the pleasures it yields",
for shame my soul flees to hide.
Yea the faults of all men are to be found in their hearts
alongside their greatest virtue,
for when passion is roused, reason departs
and men heed not what they do...

The piece in general seems overly lofty and would benefit from a more concise organization and wording, but that is my opinion
