Generals and Emperor
General And General, Two of one rank,One dark and one short of a limb.
One is tall, and wears silk.A cowl with a devious smile
The other twisted in mind and body.Sweet seduction be gifted
His thoughts drips with greed of a land coveted by many
It truly a pact of the devil with the lord.
Friend’s at a glance of the eye, foe’s hidden behind the sight
And works for the same, plotting kind to the comfort of the emperor.
Keenly wrapped for the New Land Buts its dances in the shadows of malice.
Emperor he is, not seen or heard most times
Among the people he rules, jealousy by his mother
She corrupt his soul and ruled in his name.
He is still emperor in name; Generals, strike in my name
Set against ,my allies; Cost me my friends’ lives.
Force that day of my victory; for its end my concern for the others.
But not known to him, the generals promised nothing that will befall him.
His mother knows and she sought the realm, palace alike, roused the other servants
pledged their life to the cause of protecting her son from the generals
but they fear their own necks than the mother
Only a lone loyal guard, long in service seen but not heard too.
Only the guard can stop the generals or he will die in that pledge.
The emperor of New Land has protection now
a sigh of hope against the generals but can one do against two on that day
or is it New Land’s end, we will see in this tale.

Neither of us care to know how this twisted tale will tell
but we hope wellness will prevail when the battle ends.
and bringing on the end,of either the general or the emperor
So that we as the people can live on peacefully alone.
