very strong and powerful write Jack
I enter this realm
alone, yet unafraid
Misunderstood in the face of treachery
Carrying a sword honed
of respect, unwavering sharpened steel
Running into the fray...the spoils
to cast aside hypnotically induced wishes…
and slice off the head of the beast
I love this lines, well done
The ending, the last stanza speaks for the whole poem. I so loved this, man!!! you are good, you never cease to amaze me, jazz me and take me with your poetry.

Hop on, let's go. Thank you Sunshine. You really have no idea what your kindness means to me.
Knowing your heart a little, I see you have been prodded into your paternal instincts.
This is a righteous rage and it is a good thing to internalize and also to put forth as a warning to those who would harm those you love.
It is always better to use soft words and turn away hatred and anger, yet we live in a world where evil is real and there are some who would willfully harm others.
So, we need men unafaid to fight. Unafraid to be misunderstood. Men willing to risk their reputations for the sake of protecting a weaker soul.
I applaud your write and I hope your words will be enough to defeat the foe.

I'm embarrassed I mentioned this but it was strangely too funny not to share it with ya...
You are a hero, Jack. You can strike anyone down or lift them up high with the words you wielded as your weapon, shield, and heart. Fantastic write!! :)

You realise that you are my hero in so many rights? You are an inspiration to me and someone I definitely look up to. You are the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for and always there for your friends when you need them. It's good to know that there are still some guys who actually want to love and protect someone, someone lucky.

Its heartening to read that there are still real men out there who would want to be such protective heros for their sweethearts. Such a sweet fantasy Jack. It was very refreshing!
