Poems

Justice

Just a young boy following his orders?

Trained day and night, ready for ordeals.

Having been born into a life of rigid order,

Trained to kill defiers of his ideals.

Trained day and night, ready for ordeals,

Dedicated to spreading peace through war.

Trained to kill defiers of his ideals.

Troubled by the chaos caused by his 'valor'.

Dedicated to spreading peace through war—

Tearing down nations, baptizing through fire.

Troubled by the chaos caused by his valor,

struggling to follow the faith of his sire.

(Tearing down nations, baptizing through fire)

What once was light is dark; and dark is light.

Struggling to follow the faith of his sire,

Until a darkness unveiled the evil of his plight.

(What once was light is dark; and dark is light)

Horrified at the killing and chaos he committed,

Until a darkness unveiled the evil of his plight.

He vowed with Justice to do what was knighted.

Horrified at the killing and chaos he committed,

Defying all held dear, he rejected his crusade;

He vowed with Justice to do what was knighted

Determined to battle those he now disobeyed.

Defying all held dear, he rejected his crusade—

Having been born into a life rigid and hard.

Determined to battle those he now disobeyed—

Just a young man following his morals.
