1 The son of the world's king had died Giving his life for valor's sake Fulfilling what the queen had dreamed
The evil Dark Lord planned and schemed With the cunning sly of a snake As humans grieved and shore elves cried
Into minds 'n' hearts he spoke a lie “Men and elves caused the prince to die”
If men blamed elves and elves blamed men It was possible hatred might beconceived And war could begin once again This was how the Dark Lord plotted 'n'deceived | 2 The king perceived a whispered word had lied The deceit caused his heart to break The anger inside of him teamed
Above all, truth must be esteemed He had to stop this vile outbreak And spread the reason his son died
Into minds 'n' hearts he spoke the truth Of every elder and youth
Men and elves are not to be blamed My son's life no one else could take My only son was not ashamed To give his life for valor's sake |
| 3 The world learned the Dark Lord had lied With the cunning sly of a snake They knew the king's son had redeemed
Above all else, truth was esteemed Bringing an end to vile outbreak Love was the reason the son died
Every soul believed the truth Redeeming both elder and youth
Men 'n' elves chose not to blame each other And so hatred was not conceived They would not fight their own brother Their love refused to be deceived
| 4 The plot of the Dark Lord had died The truth caused his heart to break The anger inside of him teamed
He had failed in what he had schemed With the cunning sly of a snake In pain he would always abide
Chained by his own deceitful lie The Dark Lord in despair would die
No one was ever to be blamed Of a life no one else could take Men and elves would not be ashamed To give their life for valor's sake |

I love you. Well, not truly, but the poem I enjoyed. It had a good, though somewhat cliché plotline and a good rhyme scheme as well. Breaking it into 4 parts is a unique idea, but I don't feel it's necessary. Anyway, it's not epic as I had hoped, but it wasn't disappointing. Great work!

! ! ! !Awesome! ! ! !
Yet another way to go deeper into the description of The Sacrifice,and how Satan was defeated at the Cross and how God wins in the end.It was just awesome.Enjoyed the read.Thanks for the pleasure.
God Bless

You need to read the whole series to understand I think. In this poem the Dark Lord Dies and his final scheme fails.

nice effort
this is rather messed up, a nice fantasy though you'd make tolkin proud. your lay out is like a book, though the way the page goes is hard to follow, had tough time to find the comment box till I slid the screen side ways. this would be just as good as if you were not trying for the bookish feel to the lay-out. --Robert Nice efforts. -
this is cool, but why is the title what it is?.. it doesnt seem to fit...as well as a few other options, the poem was great in almost every way but the title kinda threw me off...
howver *applaude*
