Hero
Son of the rising sun; a child of prowess.
Hatched from the spawn of the raiders' conquest.
He rose from the trail of the claws that raid.
His sage was a tale that became a legend.
His serene spirit yearned for awareness.
He sailed across seas to muster the knowledge.
But his quest for freedom dragged his feet back to home,
where the heart of wisdom was long-waiting to hone.
He fought fiercely with his pen in quest for liberty
when the wrath of men clamored for anarchy.
His sagacious spirit wielded the courage
of the soldiers that craved to ward off the raid.
He offered his life glancing at the dawn
so the gloomy eyes in grief would see the rising sun.
His blood that spilled has fueled the fury
that snatched liberty from the claws of foray.
