I Am the Warrior

In a time when the oceans drank up the land and kings ruled the earth by the warriors hands The souls of millions embellished the battle Minions in armor mounted and saddled Death came swiftly with the swing of the blade Children forged in blood the way real men were made Weakness and fear were trampled into the ground and the clashing of steel overtook the battle cry sounds but as time goes on needless to say the warrior is no longer needed today I see only cowards being portrayed Vessels without honor where emptiness strays The definition of man has changed completely indeed but the warrior remains the last of my breed The warrior remains........... remains in me I am the warrior

As you say at the last John, modern warfare threatens the survival of everything on the planet. Your poem brings up the images when the batlle was face to face. This speaks to me in a very special way.
