 Once upon a time,

When there wasn’t penny or dime.

There lived a fearless prince,

Who hadn’t been elated since.

For hi past wasn’t so bright,

On that one gloomy night,

His brother was taken away

And was totally out of sight.

Prince was called for a war

When he was already sore

He didn’t want to fight one,

But obliged as the country’s son

He marched to the battlefield,

With his armour, sword and shield.

Was to fight the other side,

But it wasn’t a smooth ride

Both were vast like a tide,

Wishing to kill the other side.

All they fought for was there land,

Of their holy motherland

Their soil was of great price,

More than of pounds of wheat or rice.

Why was it that for this thing?

There was fight between the kings?

Their soil wasn’t ordinary,

Nor was it temporary.

Could be moulded into anything, 

And would always impress the kings.

So the artisans gathered it,

And with their expertise and skills.

Turned it into pieces of art,

That always stole the royal family’s heart.

So the bloody war starts,

In the mid of month of June.

Just by the looks of it, 

It wasn’t gonna end soon

The prince had a vivid dream,

On the dusk of the first day.

An elf told him that,

He will lose a loved one by the ugly war’s way.

So they fought and fought and fought,

The result of which no one had thought.

The lionhearted was a pioneer,

In ending the hopes of the rival’s side

The valorous prince killed,

The chief of the opponent’s side.

And secured the victory,

With his strong will and might.

But when the prince saw his body,

Nostalgia struck him fast.

A birthmark on his thigh,

Made him remember his old past

He had killed his brother,

For which he was sore.

But the dream was true,

He lost a loved one by the war.

Valorous prince couldn’t bear this pain,

That poured on him like endless rain.

He had lost his brother,

For the sake of his motherland.

He had for sure won the battle,

But at what cost?

At the cost of his younger brother,

Who wasn’t always long lost.
