“The Unfortunate Warrior”

Time to fly

Time to run

Too late, here he comes

No time to flee

No time to cower

Time to meet the awesome power

I can’t lose, I can’t fail

The beast won’t prevail

Blade hits flesh; it bounces off

I could almost hear it scoff

Force won’t work, I’ll try skill

Then move in for the kill

Let’s try deep down under

Let hell be torn asunder

Its flash of flame will surely miss

Destroy itself in the midst

I tried the trick and turned aghast

The beast had me fast

I was all too calm and cool

Thought the beast was a fool

It was instead

Two moves ahead

Tried from behind

But was maligned.

The beast was sound

And turned around

My ruse

Was no use

Felt his mighty breath

And heard the sound of death

Dreadful silence, wicked black

Resounding cling from his attack

Shield worthless in strength

Oblivion at arm’s length

Defense melting to zero

It seems I am no hero

Why oh why

I have to die

Sigh

Don’t let this be you

He had no clue

Let this be a warning

Or you’ll be dead in the morning
