&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;


In this great hour of Victory, we only
Taste Defeat.

I ask you why.

We are Human.

Mankind has never had enough
For its self

Where ever we go and do

War follows us everywhere.

Sure some of us fear death,
While others Welcome
Death.

I stand before you, accused of
A sin,

Suring that we as a race, unite
As one.

or we Fall.

If we fall, then everything else will fall.

While others take our winnings,
While we are made to watch from
The Darkness of our own
Hells, we all have in ourselves.

Think of my acts, as you will.

But you had the choice of either
STANDING or KNEELING.

And YOU chose to KNEEL,
As a slave.

Think of me as you will
And also that I made
The CHOICE of
STANDING on
My feet.

And I’m helpless,
To stop it...

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I love it. It's AMAZINGLY written. Your words are powerful and create such a stirrig. Keep on, please! And also, we were made to stand on our feet, but like you said, some of us choose to kneel. Thank you for sharing this.

Love the choice of capatalization. A few minor spelling errors. I love the voice of this poem. Outstanding, with an interesting view on society and the human race.

It was nicely written but I'm just wondering what is this based on?
