&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;

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.

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
