One of Our Own (Poem)

by Cdnacho98

A poem based on episode 5x11 of Merlin (The Drawing of the Dark), when Arthur and the knights must go after Mordred after his betrayal. The feelings of duty and friendship that one has in a situation like this. No characters mentioned by name. I DO NOT OWN MERLIN, which pains me every day.

This is based on Merlin 5x11 The Drawing of the Dark. What the knights and Arthur felt when going after Mordred, their fellow knight and friend. Enjoy!

One of Our Own

By some things we cannot abide

Let personal feelings be cast aside

A line's been crossed; that much is very clear.

Ring the bells, sound the alarms,

We chase a comrade, a brother in arms

Let no conflicting morals battle here.

Light the torches, unsheathe your swords

This hunt will bring you no rewards

And yet to catch your prey you must not fail.

We swore allegiance, made a vow

An oath which we must all break now

For truth and king and country to prevail.

When personal feelings take their toll

Allow your instincts to take control

Remember tonight true colors have been shown.

Betrayal is something you cannot heal

It stings, it aches, it doesn't seem real

And yet, tonight we hunt one of our own.
