A King Among Betrayal part 2

The guards rushed in, their swords shining silver
their yells of war filled the tight room chamber
the assassins stood quiet, bracing themselves
waiting for their attack, to send them to hell

The guards swung their weapons, all five in unison
the assassins fell back, then skillfully rushed in
their blades sinking under their armor, they stood triumphant
now, further, into the keep, awaits their target

standing before them, deeper into the keep
stood pikemen at the ready, awoken from their sleep
the assassins stood still, waiting for the orders
the guards attacked, it seemed to take forever

they tried to impale the assassins, only one claiming success
but the victory were to the four, that had better defendses
quietly they proceeded, leaving their dead behind
onward and forward, do not lose your stride

up more stairs, and into another stone tomb
their black clothing matched the darkness of the room
a single candle lit at their back, only light in the place
suddenly, arrows flew past each and every face

another volley, said a voice in a stanch commanding yell
another group of arrows, as another assassin fell
the three remaining, throwing weapons they turned to
even in the dark, their aim and skills held true

as the dead fell, theres to be no grace for the fallen
the assassins moved on, into the keep too little time to keep stalling
another room, berricaded at the door
one of the members peeked into the room from the floor

seeing no threat, they bashed right on in
the trap was engaged, and a spear pierced him
another assassin fell, spear implaing his chest
the last two moved on, laying their recent fallen to rest

victory was close, two assassins left
the door to the final room, lay in wait at his best
the king, this traitor of the people on his throne
only man left, as he waits in darkness alone

they proceeded now with caution, another closed door
they bashed it carefully in, time to even the score
there indeed sat the golden king on his mighty throne
and there indeed, he waited, well armored, completely alone

one glance, from assassin to assassin, the king stepped off his throne
they drew their blades, a serious battle has just begun
they charged the king, as he drew his long sword
they raced to his sides, the king swung forward

one blocked with his blade, the other barrel rolled
one went for his knees, the other for his head
the king butted the blade from the assassins hand
and he took the blow to his knees, as his attack landed

he kicked the second assassin, now laying on his back
and stabbed him through the chest, pity he lacked
the final assassin, dived for his sword
he rolled and stood, ready to again fight the lord

the king held his blade forward, blood dripping from the blade
his eyes blacker than coal, of mercy, he knew no pursuade
the king launched forward, his blade stunning crimson
his arc long, and his aim sure, aiming for the assassin

the assassin blocked skillfully, never to under estimating again
he swung with his own weapon, aiming for the head of the lordly one
quickly, a steel crimson blade met his, clanging filled the air
the dance of the swords, placed with precise care

the lord swung again, blood flying off his blade
the assassin blocked, into the shadows, he will fade
the lord laughed, trying to follow in persuit
"Run! See if I can't find something better to do!"

the assassin attacked, silent and true
his mark for the lords neck, he knew what to do
the lord smiled slightly, he knew about his attack
purposfully he had turned, to show the assassin his back

he turned suddenly, while the assassin swung
ripping his blade through the air, both his some one
the king gurgled, a to-be deep throated laugh
as his head rolled off from his other half

the assassin fell to one knee, blood pouring from his injury
a deep gash in his chest, he made one final inquiry
he spoke out loud, as blood poured from his would
"My brothers, my king, I shall see you all soon"

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
