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


I kept asking myself.

The warrior?
The king?
The warrior/Prophet?
The Coward?
The massager?

“Will my name, be remembered, over the countless years yet to be?”
I kept asking myself again and again.

What do you ask yourself?

How much are your clothes?
How do I look?
I’m too skinny or fat?
Who will my date to Prom be?
Do my parents really love me?

Is what I hear, other people asking themselves all the time now.
The real question you should be asking is,
“What will be my place in History is yet to
Come?”
The ones who are like me, who ask themselves that question
Every day.

Are the ones who change the world, for their own way of life

So ask yourself, “Which questions should YOU asking yourself.”

Wow! This is a really great poem! Very thought provoking, and inspiring to say the least. To quote John Green "We all want the universe to notice us." This kind of spoke to me, because I think that we are all so worried about the wrong questions, and we need to think more about how we will be remembered. And then there are those people who live their whole lives wanting to be noticed, wanting to be famous. Honestly to that, I say live your life how you want, but don't try to impress EVERYBODY. You know? ;) Anyway, great job, I love it!
