"GODS OF WAR I CALL YOU, MY SWORD
IS BY MY SIDE.
I SEEK A LIFE OF HONR, FREE FROM
ALL FALSE PRIDE.
I WILL CRACK THE WHIP WITH A BOLD
MIGHTY HAIL.
COVER ME WITH DEATH IF I SHOULD
EVER FAIL.
"GLORY, MAJESTY, UNITY
HAIL, HAIL, HAIL. "

Why most we fear
The light?
Too long have our people
Have
Hide in the shadows
Of the wrong
Mistakes
We have made.
Through blood
All once was
Ours,
it shall be ours again.

To many of our brother's and sisters hid them selves from others. It's time that they come out and not hide themselves and be proud of who they're.

More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"

This was a very simple, yet very elegant poem. You come straight out with your message, but you use metaphors and figurative language in order to portray it. I also absolutley love theme! It is very relatable....*claps* :D
