The Trojans testimony


To truly be a leader is to create your culture 

Such as George Washington, Julius Caesar, Muhammad

 

The horses gallop holding the metal armored soldiers 

 

To believe what you were taught to believe and never do something more

To follow your father's steps and never do anything more 

To build character and completely destroy to reach something more and become so much more insightful 

 

A present given to the enemy 

Distraction a code for war 

 

What you think is wrong is right

But to never see anything more 

You are blinded to reality with a clouded perspective

To never question the possibilities or doubt what you are doing 

To do what you are told 

It isn't wrong or right

It just is 

 

A one-sided story always written by the winners, why should losers have a say? 

 

Everything arranged in certain pattern to tell a certain story

 

We will win

We will fight 

We will attack 

 

Adults argue near 

Two children play on the moon 

They control it all 

 

They fight for centuries 

 

Should they be together?

What will their future be like?

What will happen?

 

This goes on for centuries 

They play and play for centuries 

Playing with people on Earth

All just puppets behind Before the show starts 

They control them all

It's only a game 

As years go by they keep playing 

 

The stamina of yelling never fades 

It never changes 

Nothing ever will

 

Yin and yang 

Black and white

Good and evil 

 

To be skeptical about these things

To see a gray area 

You can only offer guidence 

 

It has become a fabric of reality 

It appears their reality is false 

 

Achilles, our great leader 

The Trojan war will be won 

 

What you believe is within your own realm in which no one can see but you and just by knowing that does all the power fall to you 

For you are safe within this realm why ever abandon it? 

A realm where all beliefs are kept and seen by you only 

A realm in which what you believe is true and always will be to you and within this reality false or not you are safe and far more as long as you believe 

 

Always a brave and courageous hero 

Don’t speak of any faults 

Until the end 

 

Misreading a meaning 

Lying under the starry night is where it waits 

 

When all is said and done 

 

The best part of fairy tales, the part everyone wishes for more 

What happens afterward? When all is said and done and the war has ended, what will happen next?
