A Nameless Poem
Eternity sleeps as Darkness calls With its clarion call of hate. Beneath the surface evil crawls, Bane of all of fate.
Hope is swallowed by that side, Always and forever. It is best to try to run and hide From the King of the land of Never.
Just then, the trumpet of the Light Calls out its tempestuous song. Holy warriors arrive to fight Against the doers of wrong.
The two sides look upon each other, Neither sure of their power. But then, the Light King cries to his brother, "Do not but sit there and glower!"
At that, the Light King orders a strike And the men gladly deliver. A man charges with a pike To become a human quiver.
"You have erred, brother mine," Calls with a laugh the King of Never. He then cries out a command trine, "Kill them, crush them, sever!"
The two sides warred an endless time, Neither gaining on the other. The fighting seemed to the eye nearly sublime, Though it be brother con brother.
Suddenly, the side of Dark Fell to a mighty blow. The King of Light peered at his mark, Fallen quite far below.
But then, Light King meets demise Like his endarkened brother. And peers with slowly closing eyes The figure of another.
"Eternity," a cry of pain, "Why strike me down now so?" A gentle sigh, a sound quite plain, Came from the being, lo.
"Not Dark nor Light stand against time," Speaks the being nigh, "Both fight, both die, such is your crime, And now, right there, you lie."
The King of Light breathes out just then, His final breath of life. Thus, it is shown clear again; We have meaningless strife.
But even so, there is one thing Which stops all wars of might. Time eternal reigns the king, Changing our wrongs to right.
