I wrote this a while ago. I had read a couple of chapters of Exodus and then watched a few episodes of Transfromers Prime and this came to mind. I pretty much goes unsaid that it was written from Optimus's POV.
They look to me to lead
A position I did not wish to take
Maybe it s what I was fated to be
Everything depending on the decisions I make
War consumes the world we knew
Possibly the beginning of the end
Now all we can do
Is choose a side and ideals to defend
Once we were one
Now we have split
What have we done?
Falling apart bit by bit
Our home is a battlefield
A horrible scene of destruction
Wounds that will never be healed
Brought with the coming devastation
We are forced to leave
Perhaps never to return
Is this how it had to be?
Watching everything crash and burn
Still the fighting continues
Another world with more to defend
They understand our views
Offer help to make it all end
It comes to the final stand
Against each other
In this unfamiliar land
Can I still call you brother?
Weapons in hand
A final battle call
One shall stand
One shall fall
Lemme know what you think. Maybe now I can kick my writer's block and get back to Forbidden Desires.
