Our Destiny: Father's Shame Poem by Jacob Courtney

Our Destiny: Father's Shame



After years of destruction you have finally
decided to come back to the place
of your betrayal. I am suprised you
even have the courage to face me alone.
I must admit I thought you would have brought
your emperor's armies. I guess some of my
teaching of honor must still be there some
where. I expected you to end this war not
lead it on down the path. This war has done
nothing but brought pain and suffering on
us all. All you do is stand there with a consumming
fire in your eyes You wasn't the only one who lost someone
they loved. Your not the only one who has this pain.
Your not the only one who hates or feels the anger
and rage. You have closed your ears and
blackend your heart. You leave me no other choice
then. I have prayed that this day would never come
but it appears that this is our destiny. Forgive me my love
for drawing my sword against our son....
