War is Strange

One wonders how a single man can change the Path of War.

Why a single man by himself can scale the highest wall,
When but a million troops may win, but many more will fall.
And yet a single voice of the crowd,
can make the silent scream out loud.
And fight as if not in a shroud,
Of gloom and torture like a cloud.

One wonders why a single man would change the Path of War.
