141. Truth's Battle Poem by Jaden Knight

141. Truth's Battle



In the last days the end of times
under a dying sun and decaying moon
doped up on a cocktail of lies and falsehoods
and believing themselves invincible
the armies of the deceivers
don their shiny black armour
they form ranks and march to war
against the white armoured truth knights
and into a massacre

They meet for the final time on the field of battle
the liars think they have the advantage
their numbers are so vast
compared to the couple of hundred knights against them
but the smaller army is much stronger
having never been corrupted

Like the leaves off the trees in autumn
the soldiers of the deceivers fall to against their foes
cut down by gleaming swords and axes
shattered by heavy maces and war hammers
every strike seems to fell a man
carving and smashing through steel and flesh
the grassy plains become swamped
with rivers of black blood

Eventually the battle is won
and the lies have all been crushed burnt and destroyed
the truth can finally be know to all for what it is
nothing will challenge the truth for now
no more fighting will be needed

The truth can return to what is was
when time was just beginning to dawn
free pure and uncorrupted by anyone
knowing that while the lies against them will be many
the truth will always win at the end of all time

This is NOT a racist poem. The colours mentioned refer only to the armour of the soldiers. I left it so that the reader can imagine soldiers of any colour or race.

nice write. my favorite stanza is: Like the leaves off the trees in autumn the soldiers of the deceivers fall to against their foes cut down by gleaming swords and axes shattered by heavy maces and war hammers every strike seems to fell a man carving and smashing through steel and flesh the grassy plains become swamped with rivers of black blood this should be in 3-D when it gets to the movie theatres/theaters! at first i thought you might have meant to write: .....leaves OF the trees..., but then i decided....leaves OFF the trees... works better, when joined with fall in the next line. yeah, i always shine up my sword and ax before entering the field of battle. i like the way they gleam before they begin doing their jobs and start to get encrusted with blood and other gore. thanks for sharing. bri :)
