Age of Suffering

A legendary song sung by the Dark Knight`s Amazon Slayers as they marched into battle. According to rumours, it was a request to the ancient Cornish Lords for strength and luck in combat.

Age of Suffering

 

Glory!

We shall bear its weight together, through blood and sores!

One invincible force, we are the dominant power, brothers all!

An everlasting glory, our enemies will cringe in the oblivion`s darkness!

We shall banish our foes to the depths of the devil`s realm, brothers all!

Valour!

We will achieve it together, through sweat and struggle!

We, the wandering retaliation of mankind, brothers all!

As we march, our oppressors will tremble at the sight of our supremacy!

Death to the weak, their inferiority they shall experience, brothers all!

Terror!

We shall inflict it in the eyes of our invaders, through death and destruction!

The walking face of death, we are the army`s proudest, brothers all!

Fleeing like scalded dogs, the enemy shall find no comfort!

At the tip of our arms, they shall feel our wrath, brothers all!

Victory!

Nothing less expected, we shall embrace it through our cohesion!

Down with the evil, the Age of Suffering shall be quelled, brothers all!

The ultimate victors, we forge our triumph from the flames of this war!

Greeting our leaders on the awaited homecoming, we shall salute, brothers all!

Peace!

The greatest achievement, we shall celebrate it through a lasting harmony!

With the vicious driven out, we will maintain order, brothers all!

Warriors of the Inner Council, the brethren all brothers look up to, these men we shall follow!

Leading us to greater glory, the peace they will secure, brothers all!

That is one exceptional write I have to say. And how brilliantly you have articulated your thoughts through your words. I personally loved your style of writing. Thought-provoking and powerful.
The way you end with PEACE! gives it a matured ending. Keep it up! Thanks for sharing :)

[Daniel-Andre]

I`m glad you found the poem to your liking :) Actually, I never planned to publish this poem in the first place. It was actually just a poem I wrote for the English class at my school :p But one day, I sorted out the files on my laptop, and stumbled over it during that process. Then I thought, "you know what? I`ll publish this poem to see if I get the same reactions I got from my English teacher." xD Anyways, your words are encouraging and uplifting, and for that I thank you :D

[Daisy]

You totally deserve it Daniel! So glad you sorted your files out and published it :)

[Schatzi]

Hello Daniel-Andre,

That is a very terrifying picture you have painted and very well done. I like how you punctuated each verse. I also felt your choice of title was very powerful and fitting for your amazing poem.

Thank you for sharing!

Kind regards,

Schatzi

[Daniel-Andre]

That you used the word terrifying is something I`m actually really happy for! The faction this poem is meant for is supposed to be robust, merciless and what you just said: terrifying.

Glad you found this poem to your liking, as I`ve said before to others. This piece is just the tip of the iceberg, a part of a novel I`m writing. So if you want more, stay tuned. :)

[T. Edana Talbott]

Oh my goodness! I really wish I could write like you..this is some professional stuff!
That ending of "peace" is a very nice touch too. (my favorite part, actually :D)

Please keep writing!

[Daniel-Andre]

Professional stuff? Well, I don`t know about that. I mean, my writing has improved over the years but professional? I don`t think I`m there yet, but thanks anyway :) And I promise you, my writing won`t stop. In fact, this poem is just the tip of the iceberg. It`s actually a part of a writing project I`m working on that might become my first novel. I`ll release each chapter of it as I produce them, so if you want more, stay tuned :)

[T. Edana Talbott]

I will surely stay tuned :)

[Joy S. Addness]

Hmmm powerful write eh? Made me feel like I had ten times the muscle mass I really do :p :)

[Daniel-Andre]

I guess that`s a compliment, haha. Thanks for the uplifting words, I`ll check out your writing soon and we`ll see if it`ll make me feel like I have the muscle mass I don`t have xD

[Jess]

A great poem this is. A good structure and excellent use of words and vocab. It creates a nice imagery of a battle scene. That terror part is what I enjoyed the most. Overall, an amazing poem. Keep up the good work. :)

[Daniel-Andre]

Thanks a lot little she-devil :p Uplifting words are always welcome, that`s my main core for motivation. Exactly, to see that people enjoy my writing. Amazing, eh? I don`t think I`m there yet, but I`m making progress :) Yes, of course, I`ll keep up the good work. That`s my duty as a Soldier of Literature. Thank you for your review, Jessica, it`s appreciated :D

[Brittanie Bardwell]

You have great use of words, great line structures, great empowerment, and an overall great poem. I can literally see someone shouting this to his comrades before a battle and it could be in any instance! Great job!

[Daniel-Andre]

Thank you! I`m happy to see that people enjoy my writing. Well, let`s just say that this poem is the tip of the iceberg. It`s actually a part of a writing project I started a couple of weeks ago, and hopefully, it`ll turn into a novel worthy of publishing one day. I`ve actually planned to release each chapter as I produce them so if you want more of this, stay tuned :) And thank you for your time, it`s appreciated, and noted. :D

[Brittanie Bardwell]

As a novalist, I can say keep at it and never give up! If the rest are anything like this one, I am sure they would make a fantastic nove

[Daniel-Andre]

Oh do not worry, I won`t give up. Trust me, when I want something, I`ll always get it. The road getting there will be tough, indeed. But I`m robust enough to walk it despite the downsides. Oh, and I could see you had added that other piece of mine to your reading list. Just wanted to let you know that it`s not a part of the writing project I`m currently working on, that piece was merely a test to see people`s reactions. Same with this poem actually :) But feel free to read it nonetheless, I won`t stop you xD

[Rose]

To be honest I don't think have the right to put a review since am a writer in progress but really this is so good I really enjoyed reading it

[Daniel-Andre]

Nonsense, you don`t have to be a published writer just to write a review. Because I`ve got to tell you, no matter how many novels or poetry collections you manage to publish, for example through a publishing house. It won`t automatically mean you`re a good writer.

You can`t decide whether you`re good or not, the publishers can`t decide that, neither can the sales figures of your creations. It comes down to the people, what they think of you as a writer and more importantly: their final verdict of your art.

Now, there will always be someone who doesn`t like it, it`s about personal taste after all. But if people tend to like your writing generally, then you`re a good writer, or at least has the means to become one if you`re willing to work for it.

Anyway :) My point is, you write, you`ve already created something that`s truly yours and you`ve dared to share it with the fine people of this website. That`s enough to make you an author, maybe an unpublished one, but keep your head above the water. If you work hard, you will manage to reach that stage of your writing career as well.

As a summary to everything above: yes! You`ve got the right to share your thoughts on other people`s creations. The words are your weapons, and you wield them proudly. That makes you an author. A soldier of literature. Be proud and have no fear in sharing your knowledge and experience with others. You`ll help more than you think :D

About the poem, I`m glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing that with me, even words that are uplifting is a great help in itself. Thank you so much!

[Rose]

Thank you so much those are truly amazing words tells shows how much of a great writer you are :) your words are truly aspiring and encouraging. Yeah Im trying my best to grow as an author and hopefully publish something people would like. I would love to Read more of your work so don't ever stop writing XD ...your welcome am glad my words were uplifting to you :)

[Daniel-Andre]

You`re welcome, my lady or lass for that matter (don`t know your age). Growing as an author, that makes two of us. The publishing days will come, just hang in there and remember. Write what inspires and interests you. Basically, what comes from your heart. Don`t ever write what you think others will like. Because that will just lead you to a dead end.

And no, I`m not planning to pack my suitcase and leave this website. This is probably the best that has happened to me as a writer thus far. I get to share my creations with people that share my interests. Things are great! Me writing will never stop, Rose.

[Rose]

Am lady XD oh and I'm 19 ...yeah I always write what I like and what comes to my mind. I've never considered doing what people pleases so I don't think I'll be doing that now XD...that's the spirit! Keep it going :)

[Jacqueline Lopez]

Very nicely written!

[p]

You know, I might be completely wrong about this, but judging from your personal bio and your writing, I'm guessing your Cornish by heritage?

Very nice writing as well.

[Daniel-Andre]

Thanks for the uplifting words Casey, trust me, it means a lot. Yes my heritage, no, I`m not Cornish. Actually, my bloodline goes all the way back to the time of the Vikings. Though, somewhere between those days and now, Spanish blood managed to become a part of my family as well. But the Nordic blood is dominant, if I recall correctly, I think I am 95% Norwegian and 5% Spanish.

Anyway, as far as Cornish is concerned, there`s a funny story right there. I won`t go into great detail about the plans I`ve made for novels and the universe I`ve created (still in development). But to put it frankly, as I sat in front of my computer creating the different races. I managed to come up with the race name Cornish out of pure imagination.

Here is the best part: oblivious to the whole Cornish thing, I continued working on my project until the very day it struck me. The word Cornish, I haven`t added it to the vocabulary, despite that, my computer didn`t mark it as incorrect. That`s when I thought "Is this actually a word?" And I had to look it up. That`s how I discovered Cornwall and the Cornish people who made it their home. Got to admit, I was a little mind-blown. Especially when I discovered my imagined Cornish people shared a lot of character traits with the real ones. Bit scary, haha :)
