Not LIke Them

Not LIke Them

A Poem by The Last Philospher

One of a kind
In a world so broken
The right path
Only he can find

A hero of the people
One not afraid to fight
Yet not loyal to any flag
Not in the front lines
Not there for every life
No, not like them

A meaningless weapon
An impenetrable shield
A tool for a greater plan
Yet no property to a king or queen
Not the kind to bend the knee
Not meant for bloodshed or terror 
Though capable
No, not one of them

A spiritual man
One with whom the gods bother
But he's no prophet
Not really a man of faith
Not the type to go to church
Not the type to pray exclusive to one
No, not like them

Someone in love
Someone who cares
A person who thinks them before me
Consent before achievement
Not one to use the right words
Even if he knows them well
Not one who lives his life with the one who matter most...
No matter how much he wants to
Not one who can live a life of joy
And live just for her
No, not like that at all

A seeker of knowledge 
A true scholar
One who sees the true value of knowing
And thirst's for the truth
But he has no teacher
Just whispers lost in the wind
No school to fully immerse 
No chance to focus on an abstract
No chance to broaden a focus
He didn't have a chance to grow before his time to nurture
No chance to e part of that garden
No, not one of those

One of a kind
In a swarm of many
He might be chosen
He might be lost
He may be gifted
He may be cursed
As he beats the world
And the crowd in in awe
As he falls in love
As his heart gets broken
The only thing he know: 
Not one of them.
