Poem for Obi-Wan


Long ago and far away
In a galaxy unknown,
Lived a knight Obi-Wan Kenobi
Who took a padawan for his own.

Obi-Wan had suffered such a terrible loss
In a recent fight.
A fight that had killed his master
He was killed by the Dark side, not the light.

Filled with justified rage
And wanting to avenge his master,
Obi-Wan glared sabers at the Sith Lord
His heart beating faster and faster.

Soon he would vanquish this Dark Lord
Who had killed his mentor
Then maybe he'd feel better,
Knowing he would kill Jedi no more.

In the end Kenobi deafeated Darth Maul
And still he felt sad
Then rang true the words
Spoken Yoda had.

"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering. Revenge, the way
To the Dark side, it is."

Yoda had been right .
Revenge made things only worse
But Obi-Wan knew he would be fine
As long as he stayed on his course.

To train Anakin to be a Jedi
Was Master Kenobi's destiny
And what would happen in the future
To the Chosen One
Still seen, must it be.
