Poem
A knight still shining... Because that’s what we need; Someone to admire... When the world’s on its knees. So much is weighing... On the shoulders of the story; And everyone is watching, For there own personal touch of glory... Fight the good fight, And die with pride and honor... The glory that your feeling, Won’t matter if you’re a goner... But someone needs to stand for something; So why not kill for peace? Everyone needs a hero, And why shouldn’t that be me? Standing tall, decorated in flashy armor, Carrying fairy tales in my heart; But what is it that I’m doing here? Believing truth that could only be in part; Defending the greater good... As I steal a child’s father, Teaching him to hate everyone like me; And I wonder why I bother? Truth is all about your point of view, And heroes are just the same; You think you’re preaching peace, But you might just feed the flame... It’s hard to accept a story, If you’re told by people you don’t know; How can you believe in peace... When there’s violence everywhere you go? It all seems a myth or folk lore... Looking through our version of history, How can someone ask us to defend... And or die for someone else’s reality? All to be remembered as someone you never were; Because it reinforces their story... A fallen hero to those that never knew you, And your death was in their glory. How true is it... That you wouldn’t be if not for them? You’ll never know... Until someone rewrites the story again; And even then, who will you believe? Truth is all in the eyes unfortunate enough to see it, For everyone else it’s tales of recollection... So you can believe in what you choose, But don’t expect us buy into your tradition... Repeating those famous last words... The truth is all in the eye of the beholder; But what of those not there to witness? Left to watch, as the world grows colder... Hoping for our fearless heroes, All the while knowing better in our minds... Living a truth someone else put into action, Leaving us to believe in lies, quick to bind.
