Burden of the Mask

What does the world know of the burden a terrorist carries?

He who must hide his face behind a mask forsakes freedom for himself so that others may gain it.

Terrorist. Monster. Manipulator. Murderer.

Names given by those who fear him.

Savior. Messiah. Liberator.

Names given by those who greedily accept his offerings.

Through slight good, and ever so present evil,

The King of the Black Knights

Plunges into madness

His knight following at his left,

His queen at his right hand

Into the Hell that he makes the world.


I've gotten into a Code Geass rut and wanted to do something quick. Tell me what you think.
