The last words of wisdom.

Senses, brothers in a battle.
Running down the alley, broken teeth, and forgotten names,
That what’s stands them apart.

Tears, cousins in a disaster.
Running down to the only safe place,
on earth. They do not stand a chance.

Let me show You, how to die,
Or how to fight,

We will

It is therefore to better be a warrior,
than a spleen coward.

I won’t speak to You

your title is good, as is your language usage. I wish you weren't so sparse with the information in the body of your poem. the theme is interesting.

this line is a bit confusing: It is therefore (to) better be a warrior, I think if you dropped the first (to) it would read better. in these lines:
Senses, brothers in a battle.
Running down the alley, broken teeth, and forgotten names,
That what’s stands them apart.

break up this line into:
Running down the alley,
broken teeth, and forgotten names,

for a smoother read. very good poem, it has potential!

a few suggestions : Line 3 That's what stands them apart
line 5 change running to fleeing to avoid too close repetition
line 10 change to It is therefore better to be a warrior

now line 2....hmmmm.... I'd break this into 2 lines at the comma.
A good emotive poem

Thank You for comments, friends.
I will take them into consideration.

The idea of change, keeps itself useful, only when the wrongs, reminds wrongs.

Therefore I am taking them into the account, for a future poem. :)
