Betrayed Cause

"Knight in shining armor! The message that You brought, even the pigeons did ages before..."

Betrayed Cause

Knight in shining armor! The message that
You brought, even the pigeons did ages before.
Shattered honor lies scattered as you spell out
The message. But in order to keep peace intact,
We stand still with our warriors bowing
Their heads in shame and our commanders
Holding their fire inside their brains, with their
Inner being trembling in controllable rage!

Knight in shining armor! Messenger you were
Never to be. Yet you became, ferrying
Purposeless lies that would have only got
You and your cronies dividends!

Knight in shining armor! Our able
Warriors, in exchange of their honor
And valor retained yours for the sake
Of decorum. Yet you misuse their
Sacrifice for your vain glory and honor
And heap ignominy on the warrior class
That bow their head in front of no one,
But their cause and emerge triumphant
Even when vanquished while trying
To attain their destiny!

Away knight in shining armor! As the
World of ignominy awaits your soul!
Away! Away! Away!
Knight in shining armor!
