A WARRIOR'S PLIGHT




A Warriors Plight






Long ago in the land of winter
Where the sun never shone
Lived a warrior, whose profession was to kill
It rained at night and the snow glowed bright



He leaned on his wife

She cried all night
Nine months went by and his wife died
Leaving behind her legacy crying in a rag

War lasted forever, snow everywhere
The warrior struck his spear through every other man
Blood froze in the snow and looked aglow
The village was massacred in a single fight

Oh, what a sight to behold!
Women lie listless, mishandled and mangled
His mistress met with the same plight, he cried that night
He prayed for darkness, so he could rest

Taken to the west, to slave for men
Who looked not like him
When he was freed, he ripped every heart apart
Until his own was plunged upon

He shook violently for once, then laid still forever
No tombstone was ever made
We can never know his name, just the same
His brothers of the village met with same fate

Far away, A withered leaf falls in the spring
Carried far off before being lodged
In a crevice not so large
It’ll stay there forever till it is returned to the maker’s hands
May he rest in peace

Except the 4th line of the 1st stanza. Its somewhat contradictory..

Rest of the lines tell an awesome story of a Fallen Warrior, who lost his wife, then his life..

The lines No tombstone was ever made....... till the end of the article, are awesomely correlated..

Good one, dude.
