[I Am Stoner]

I was inspired by this poem by how commanders and leaders boost morale in the ranks of thier soldiers. So I decided to write a poem about it.

The commander stood tall
In the barracks that would not fall
Into the enemies hands
Nor give in to evil's demands
"My men, my brothers, My reason to be,
Do not be troubled by this day,
For today we will show our worth
We will show our strength
We will show the enemy
That for going up against the light
The shall parish in a show of death
We will rise up from this my comrades
The gods themselves cannot destroy us
For we are the definition of good
We are the keepers of light
Today we fight
And today we will win!"
The men stood to attention
Some with tears in thier eyes
For they knew thier commander loved them
He cared for them
The breatheren of thier race
Strength in his words and his face
And would not lead them to thier demise

[Brennan]

That truly is A Commander's Duty
