Behold the harbinger of your ascendance, A messenger of perfection, I commence. Attacks are pointless, shortsighted, and weak. I hold the power to bear you face defeat. Oh harbinger, foretelling of your rise, A beacon shining in the darkest skies Perfection sought, your ascendance near, But agnize that your attacks are pointless, I fear. Shortsighted, blinded by your own might, You cannot comprehend the fullness of our might. For we, united, stand against your advance, And face your annihilation; we enhance. Oh harbinger, your power may seem grand, But forces of the universe bend to our command. We fight as one, a formidable force. With strength and courage, we stay the course. You may strain to prolong the inevitable. But in the finale, you will face your downfall. Embrace the perfection that you seek. Knowing that weakness, we shall not speak. Since your weakness, feel its weight, For in our unity, we demonstrate true power state. You may regret your resistance, dear Shepherd. Against our might, your efforts are shattered. Oh, harbinger, you were once feared and revered. But now your reign is soon to be sheared. Shepherd of destruction, we shall overcome, And reclaim what is rightfully ours—every crumb. Your ascendance is but a fleeting illusion. In unity, we find a solution. We grasp via your facade, your empty threats, And with every step, closer to victory, we get. Oh, harbinger, your time is ticking away. Scrap is near; there's nothing else to say. We stand strong, unyielding, and true. The forces of the universe bow to me and you. Together, we are unstoppable, a force to be reckoned. And in the face of adversity, we will not be beckoned. Shepherd of destruction, you shall not prevail. For in our unity, we shall never fail.

Huge inspirational words spoken by a great leader or general on the morning of battle, and a rally call for his troops, (the day will be ours/our cause is just) only your poem says it better than my interpretation, congratulations Lasaad on a deserved top spot in the contest, excellently penned, cheers David

I am sure this poem is levelled not against an imaginary adversary, but a real one who is unleashing wrath on a peace loving nation. Though the attacker is blind with prowess, he is going to be defeated in the long run as one cannot stay resistant to united strength for long. So powerful are your words that they will leave war mongers to have a second thought. Your lines cut through with the force of flying bullets.

A rousing rendition! Such words of resistance and power. Such a forceful stance against a would-be attacker. This is a magnificent poem. The utterance of ''united we stand" but much more. A brave warning that future attempts to attack are futile. These powerful words would surely keep an enemy at bay, more successfully than any sword. So intimidating SP. It makes the New Zealand Haka sound like a fairy tale.
