The Mage
It sounds like you had the valor.
Are you a hero or a traitor?
Your tale comes down like mythic,
while Victor paints his own epic.
Your passing is a mystery
in the pages of fading history,
like a bleeding tale of glory
tamed with rage and fury.
Your legend was born
like when Lenin blew the horn;
The poor peasants mourn;
A mighty empire was torn.
But the blood of rage
was engraved in every page;
At the right time it may spill;
May the righteous halt the kill.
May the blades of destiny
tame the course of history
so the rage and the fury
will bow down to grace and glory.
*In memory of a famous political figure in the history of my country*
