Lightning-Dono: This poem is about Raine! I always enjoyed hearing from her character – so funny! I like pairing her up with Kratos. ((grin)) AND I beat Magnius...Tough little bugger he was.

True Ambition

-

It's rarely found in many souls
You can look anywhere
From the ancient world
To now

They battle
But what for?
If only they could provide a reason
I would forgive them

Destruction has been released
From it's bindings
Love has been purged
To welcome hatred

A warring people have come
And we don't have a choice
It's either fight or leave
And we want to defend

True ambition is something you can't have with a heart of darkness
When you hold a weapon to kill for the sake of it
When innocent blood is spilt
It cannot be found

Ambition is found when a lover fights for his beloved
It's uncovered when a mother searches for her child
There need not be a battle
For it to surface

When I first saw Lloyd's eyes
I saw the joy of any teenager
But later on
The whole image changed

The fire burns passionately
As two beings clash
He's the first to lift his sword
And the last to leave the slaughtered

It was like seeing him years older
Battling his own inner trouble
In a way, he has changed
I believe he has found what he has been fighting for

Torturing others isn't the way
While people take our safety for granted
There is a person dying every day for that cause
So you shouldn't let go

The ruins show it all
How humans have died simply through warfare
Is this how our land wants to end it?
Or must we pursue another path?

Truth is, pure ambition is hard to find
You may want something, but never try
Your friend might be struggling, but you won't help
Their life is as good as gone without you

So let the fact guide you
Life is no good without dreams
And living in a world of nightmares
We need that fiery ambition to pull us through
