True Warriors
By Mithiras
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

Hmm.. very profound and wise. I like the sort of parable-like tone to the rhythmn...it makes it feel like a tale you would tell children (but in a good way).

I was originally going to make it into a song, but that would require a lot more time, and I just wanted to get the idea out of my head ...

The fact that guns came and totally destroyed knights and the ways of the true warriors ... its pathetic, life would be more simpler if there were no guns ... no school shootings ... only stabbings xD
