As I sit here on this rock,
sharping my blade of death.
I wonder...
Why do I fight...
I watch my comrades die all around me.
Why do I kill...
These men that I don’t even know.
Why don’t I just throw my sword away.
Why do I still go on with this battle,
that never ends.
Day after day men fight and die.
For what religion, money, land.
What is the point, to it.
Who is to say,
what religion is right or wrong.
What land is better then the other.
What’s the use of money,
you can’t take it with you when you die.
So then why do I fight,
I fight for another reason.
I fight for freedom,
I fight for those who can’t defend themselfs.
I fight for the children, the elderly, the weak,
the crippled...
I fight those who would take away their freedoms.
That is why I still hold my blade, it is a blade of death,
but it is more, it is also a blade of justice and freedom.
I will continue on, for I must if I fail,
freedom would mean nothing.
My life would mean nothing.
I must be the warrior, for if not me then who.
Who will stand beside me to fight the injustices of the world.
Who...
Who will lay down their lives for those who can’t.
Now I must go for the call to battle has sounded again.
As I walk, I walk a little taller and prouder.
For some of you have answered my call.
You will fight beside me and die beside me.
But you will be honored,
as those who will protect those that can’t.
I salute you my new comrades.
You have given me new hope for the future.
Now lets go.

Sir Urick Vöse soldier of goodness.
I don't know what is happening to me, I am not a poet. but some how, I am coming up with this stuff. I was just minding my own business, when bam I had an idea about a warrior, next thing I know, I get this long poem. This is getting really weird, maybe it has something to do with a book me and my brother are writing. Its like I have opened a door within myself that is a pool of knowledge, that has been sitting there for the right moment to be let out. Oh well, life continues as it should be. :)
