VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Mid-Evil Metaphors

A knight hath come into this world
though his armor cast not a gleam
For he carries with him a broken past
He carries a faded dream

Unsuitable suitor with a face so old
Though youth is still a friend of he
Eyes rimmed with soot, shoulders stooped
From all that could never be.

Knowing he has lost
Never understanding just why
Lost in the duels
Yet unable to die.

Weapons tarnished, fit for no man
Yet he carries them high; reverently
Though the sword's now worn unto the hilt
The shield is blemish-free.

A gladiator must learn defense
If prosper in battle he wishes to do
For the mark of a beaten man is
a sword exhausted and a shield still new.
