Dark Knight
Values of honor
drives the dark knight to patrol evil.
The heavy thud of his boots
shakes the tall trees as a warning .
Knights anger roars into the night.
Calling to Evil one.
Coward show your true self now.
You can’t run forever.
The leaves on the trees trembled
as his words rumbled like a tornado.
Hostile threats rocketing
through the air igniting rage.
Tonight the battle ends
Onlookers fighting back the bile rising
from the pungent smell of hate.
Bones cracking and blood spurting
the two exchange powerful blows
Evil attempts to fight dirty
but Knight is on a mission
Evil will be paying for his sins.
His sword plunges deep
Evils vile blood pours to the ground.
Knight looks too heaven
He cries in a mournful howl
I did not ask for this burden
Everyone grows quiet
a young child approaches knight.
Beckons him to his knees
Like the gentle breeze of April
Thank you she whispers in his ear.
The great knight weakened
by the sweetness of the child .
Takes her in his arms.
Returns his eyes to the sky
Ok I understand why I must.
