"GODS OF WAR I CALL YOU, MY SWORD
IS BY MY SIDE.
I SEEK A LIFE OF HONR, FREE FROM
ALL FALSE PRIDE.
I WILL CRACK THE WHIP WITH A BOLD
MIGHTY HAIL.
COVER ME WITH DEATH IF I SHOULD
EVER FAIL.
"GLORY, MAJESTY, UNITY
HAIL, HAIL, HAIL. "


Is it coward’s way?
To kneel, before
Another man of
Flesh
And blood.


Or is it a crime
To kneel on your
Kneels?


Or is it better to stand
On your feet and hold
Your head up high and
Stand your ground.


Or is it better to lie
Down on the
Ground like
A coward


Or would you stand
And fall a warrior’s
Death with your
Bothers and
Sisters


The choice is yours
To make, but remember
Those others will not make the same choice
As you did
That
Day.

Ask your self, when the day comes, "Will you stand on your feet or kneel?"

More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"

I am completely envious of your very prominent talent!! I really like how you created a haiku chain, they are always fun. I also love how your poems are always so meaningful, so deep. It inspires me, way to go!
