Read together
In a land of magic and might,
Where brave warriors fought day and night,
Lived a young knight with mettle so true,
Dauntless and bold, his heart imbued.
He took a solemn vow to serve,
To protect and honor with every nerve,
And never let trivial things distract,
From his mission to act and impact.
But the road ahead was not easy,
As he faced many an underling sleazy,
Corrupt and cunning, they sought to quell,
The knight's allegiance to all that was well.
Yet the knight remained steadfast,
And wielded his cudgel with a blast,
Not to harm, but to warn and defend,
Against those who sought to pretend.
For the elusive venison of honor,
Was not to be caught with a mere banner,
It required a heart that never cowered,
And a mind that always flowered.
So let this story inspire you too,
To be like the knight, valiant and true,
And pledge your allegiance to what's right,
For that's the path to a future bright.
