Praisers of the False Hopes

Ciel the Sky Mortal's picture

He is a warrior, you know,

A warrior of care, almost cynical, almost

Hypocritical, striking for love, killing for peace

But he is a warrior nonetheless.

He wields a sword engraved with justice

And a shield endowed with careless hope

He fights for what he believes to be brave

While the “valiant” fear the vigilante.

He doesn’t know that they don’t know

That he is trying to save them all

They just look to their “leader”

While the world crumbles around them.

With his last breath

Taken, stolen, ripped away by their “saviors”

The downfall of all lays heavy on the shoulders

Of the ignorant who praised their false hopes.

Huzzah! Thanks to you as well! Glad you liked it, and that it reminded you of Mulan, considering that movie is awesome indeed. Also glad you got the "mob" vibe from it, good to know it does make sense (I tend to wonder sometimes...). Thanks again! :)
