Poem - Wartimes

Post date: Apr 04, 2011 10:35:18 PM

Wartimes are dire times   by Yola Plumblossom. 

I don't believe in violence 

I hate it very much 

I'd rather live in friendship 

with kindness, peace and such 

But when it's used against me, 

there's nothing I can do 

In order to defend myself, 

I have to be violent too. 

So enemies, they will find out,

when attacking home and kin,

that this peaceful hobbitlass

a monster contains within.

That's why I loath all violence,

It brings up a bad in me

an anger and a will to kill

that I'd rather never see.

Yes, wartimes they are dire times

But heed we must to war's call

'Cause when we stand divided

Freedom's banner will surely fall!
