War

I am glad you understand, I am glad that you see
All that is War, and what it could be.
What you do not realize
Is that War is greater than just you and I.

Greater than one on one
Some say, greater than the Seven Suns

So show me an army
Show me policy
Show me governments, economy and strategy galore.
War is so much more.

Many against many, not simple mockeries.
So I have proved you herein, but a War it is not,
But a simple battle.

Other than that, you stand corrected, War is everything, War is that
much more.
But to belittle it to two people, how greedy thou hast been,
Give it to the world, and a War you shall have to win.

I see your potential, oh noble of...whoever you are...so come follow
Him, and His ways you shall Win. You are smarter than the average, yet
so much you must learn. I am willing to teach, but only if you are
willing to yearn.

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Ferinus, in the year 435 AD.
