My Foe, My Friend Poem by Hermione Femalton

There are no shades of grey;
Only black or white,
You have shown your true colours
In the way you fight.

Black can change;
White can too,
I have seen;
As have you.

Even though some may act,
Like they are the blackest sight;
But behind their frozen mask,
They are purest, lightest white.

You have given everything;
You know how it’s been,
You have fought, lost and loved;
So you saw, as I have seen.

And so we share this silent truth,
Opposite sides of anarchy,
As the men around us fall;
We will fight for victory.
