"Rude Awakening: A Warrior sub-culture" is not a book of poems, but a mirror held to the men who fight silent wars long after the battle ends, Erik Petravicius writes with the heart of a soldier and the clarity of a philosopher, exploring masculinity, loyalty, discipline, love, loss and redemption in a world that often forgets what those words mean.
This collection is for the ones who still stand when softness fails, for warriors, kings, and men rebuilding themselves one scar at a time.
"Peace isn't the absence of battle,
It's the discipline to only fight when the cause is worthy
and the mission demands it!"
