The Power of Morgroth

The most powerful 
   of evil beings
       has come to Middle
Earth
     With the power of 
the three Silmarils 
      at his command
He builds himself a 
  mighty fortress
      Born from discordance 
he is the incarnation of
darkness
    As the Eldar and 
the fledgling race 
   of men 
      Try to keep peace
in their lands
     He comes, wielding 
great power, into their 
   midst
  The Valar know of 
this 
    Yet it is up to 
   the dwellers of Middle Earth
      to deal with 
this malevolent being
   They must summon 
all their strength
The balance of all 
   creation
 is threatend 
     One of Morgroth's
servants 
    will later become a threat
    But for now the dark King
   must be handed a 
   a defeat 
   Or the free peoples will face
    the consequences

Hey, nice story, Matthew. J.R.R. Tolkein would be proud! Middle Earth is a fun place to spend some time indulging in fantasy. Love, Carolyn
