Hey there good people! Here's a poem of sorts that's been stuck in my head for a few weeks now. I haven't been playing Skyrim for long compared to most others, but I figured that I should write my first poem about it. Remember to review, and the story is told form the perspective of the Dragonborn who had been trained at the Bard's College as a side hobby of sorts from adventuring.
Here is the Warrior,
Standing tall in discipline.
Long periods of training
Short periods of action
You knew the drill
You memorized the oaths
You've seen the horrors
And mostly
You don't belong to yourself anymore
Here is the Soldier
Fighting another man's battles..
Here is the Warrior,
Whole and Hearty!
Tomorrow is guaranteed
For absolutely no one
Take no day for granted
For when Sovengarde beckons
We all must die
A band of brothers
Always at your side
Here is the Warrior
Conquering day by day!
Here is the Soldier,
Making Calculations...
There was a method in the madness
A burden by the chains of commanding
A game of thrones that we play
A story to tell a certain way
A little white lie, so they say
Some just laugh
Shrug and walk.
Here is the Soldier
Playing the grandest of games!
There goes a Warrior,
Enjoying The Hunt!
In this life,
There was no time for politicking,
No time for false kings.
You carry on for them,
For your fallen brethren,
For the worship of Talos,
For you.
There goes the Warrior
With Valor and Glory at their side!
There goes the Soldier,
Marching with their head held high!
You've voiced your Way to the masses,
Have assessed the Ground of your battles,
Determined the Atmosphere of your troops,
Been made a General to represent your cause,
Embodied the Law that upheld the order.
You are a soldier
Serving with determination
Your country, right or wrong.
There goes the Soldier,
Pragmatism and honor at its finest!
Here lies the Warrior,
In the days of the Distant Green Summers.
Wounded and torn,
But spirit completely unfettered,
You smile one final time,
For The Age of Oppression
Is forever gone
The faces of your brothers-in-arms
Forever etched into your memory
There was once a Warrior,
A Hero who evolved into a Legend...
There was a Soldier,
Their story still untold...
Lands have been reunified
Enemies slain and comrades devastated.
One last smile, one final time,
For The Age of Aggression,
Was forever done.
A contest of blood and steel
On the vast lands of Skyrim.
Gods be with the Soldier,
Making their own road to Hell..
