Please read and criticize This is free verse...Here is my collaboration Ibrahim...Verlena - Oblivion Dark Sunshine

SALUTE
Men were dead here and there, which swords had fallen everywhere.
Looking around, bewildered was the General frowns as his heart thumped and pound.
Torn was his army, fighters killed with everyone inquiring on who was in leadership.
This was a lost battle.
His mind told him to go.
His heart was involved saying stay until the war is over.
The face of the King he saw.
A face of a foe, if he leaves now, the necessity of the war was the wrath of Thor.
Confusion thus far
Illusive to a battle lost.

The General stood thinking with his heart split.
His army was fleeing.
What should he do about this?
He decided not to be defeated by joining in.
If he flees, he would be a coward and this was not happening.
Therefore, he picked up his sword and struck the enemy turning a losing battle into his biggest victory.


The General did not live to see the celebration for he was killed in fight.
A stray arrow struck him in the back.
Great was his achievement but narrow was his faith.

The General name went in history.
His bravery others did crave.
The General was buried in a decorated grave!
