Fall Of The Warrior.

In the distance far away from world,
Was a place small yest unearthly.
Everyone knew everyone coz no one was more important,
In their midst lived a warrior.

A warrior was he, never lost a battle,
hearing his name his enemies' teeth rattled.
Hero he was for his homeland,
People worshiped him offering garlands.

They praised him and wanted others do do so.
They asked him why he was here sitting so low.
The world is out there to conquer,
Let the world know that you are to be remembered.

So he went away to fight a new battle,
If he had known that he is to be crumbled.
Hero he may be for his people,
But he was not made to rule the world and yes, he did tumble.

He had Charm and ability to win,
And would have if had heart in it.
But now the world so alien, so dim,
The outer force broke the strength of his pit.

The warrior so mighty, so hailed.
Now fought alone that to without passion.
The paradise now turned to hell and he didn't belong there.
He wanted to be there where Everyone knew everyone coz no one was more important.

Thus without heart the warrior continued fighting,
He couldn't turn back coz for his folks then it would be disappointing.
He couldn't show them he didn't want this and thus faked a happy smile.
The followers he loved once became the reason for his end.

So with all his might he fought the battle,
But he couldn't avoid all the blows.
For great he may be but he was a mortal,
And one blow did prove to be fatal.

Lying there in mud his whole life blurred by,
He looked around for his people,
Gave a call to his folks,
But alone he was, dying.

For a moment he was afraid,
He didn't want his name to fade.
Then his breath shortened, his vision darkened,
He realised it was the last thing to matter.

Ah! what an end to what could have been a glorious life!!

The warrior has fallen,Was the cry of the people.
2 sq. meter land was all the mighty one had now.
He didn't care anymore for people to remember him.
He was at peace, he was now the part of the soil of his homeland.
