Warrior's Soul


Her warrior’s soul has seenA hundred warsLost in stalemate with no resolution.A hundred liesShroud the truth to honour persecution. Her warrior’s soul has heardSo many tormentsSuffered by the weak with hope extracted.So many childrenCry in hunger while the world’s distracted. Her warrior's soul has foughtA thousand foesWho fail to honour truth or pay the price.A thousand causesRaised to stem the flow of sacrifice. Her warrior’s soul has walkedToo many milesShe seeks the shadowed mist to pass the helm.Too many livesHer spirit calls her to the blessed realm. Her warrior’s soul will holdA single starTo guide her to the path that calls her fate.A single wishTo see this world reborn and free of hate.

I too am a warrior

an honorable role. We put ourselves on the line,often fuck up. But we protect those who need help. at any time of year. I once attacked a perpetrator, The friend apologized but i did harm.I once did magic to help a friend break a creative block, she vomitted but learnnt to play piano again, She abused me, The magic worked but did not address the block. Magic needs wisdom. I am a scientist magician. Magicc is just a bic lighter we don't understand yet. cheers, Jess

Word warrior....

here, as rated by Tickle.com or something like that. A warrior spirit is needed today fighting for real compassion and righting the wrongs of social prejudices and injustices, especially where children are concerned, well pointed out in your poem. Nice flow and choice of words. :) Patrick

Skilled writing

I liked the way the form followed the function of this piece. The story is strong and distinctly short. Your tale is one of nobility so who could not agree with such a stance. I liked it.

true warrior

IS the true martyr, what the true definition is: a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause. You have framed that vision. Often unsung or remembered. That pure valiance in spite of suffering to do what we deem is right and full of light and hope, even to the death. This is a magical,hopeful and noble uplifting with this piece, thank you Purplemoondoll. I have been refreshed! Yours, Frangipangi

frangi, sorry to disrupt the stream

but got to disagree with you here. Martyrs are a waste of life. True warriors live to fight another day. This could be my basic disagreement with Christianity, he didn't throw himself on a grenade to save his brothers, he just got torured to death, and if that means something it means believing in a creed thar subscribes to sacrifice, which politically keeps the poor poor. "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesars's". I find it offensive. cheers, Jess

A really great read and a great rhythm to me. A warrior woman. Way to go. I loved it. Rett: It may look easy, when you look at me, But it took years of effort, to become the mess that you see John Fogerty

Kaz

The form and rhythm are perfectly structured and the tale is the epitomy of a true warrior's soul. Your choice of the pronoun "she" for this warrior makes me think of a mother and her children - or of Mother Earth throughout the generations. A strong and solid write, just like the warrior it depicts. Best, Ronda

jess, no disrupt

Jess, you disrupted nothing. Not all mrtyrs die for a noble or valiant cause, I was lifting up those who do stand and "fight" and stay to fight on and are remembered for being a great warrior, especially for the cause of those who need a champion. I began my comment, and I quote: "True warrior IS the mrtyr", I think Kaz's piece framed this idea beautifully. Oh, and I never mentioned anything about Christiandom, religion never came to mind. But magic and hope and light did. I agree being a mrtyr for the sake of mrtyrdom only is rather pointless and seems selfish. Thank you for your response Jess, I hope the point of my comment is more clear. Yours as always, Fran
