True Warriors

In the ancient days
warriors were made
as strong as steel
and brave as can be

No one would face these men
they cowered in front of them
nothing could defeat a man
who trained for all his life

the warriors turned to fighters
the fighters turned to knights
but still their creed held
as they took flight

thousands of warriors
stand against time
a shadow of memory
of our own history

unfortunately for warriors
the cowardly begin to pray
for a weapon that may
destroy their ways

and thus the gun was made
the cannon and walls
soon the warriors way
quickly began to fall

easily killed in battle
by weapons made by cowards
eventually all but a few
were made instinct like animals

but still a few live on
who can teach the warriors way
brave as men can be made
in those ancient days
true warriors were made
