I love reading, writing, and listening to music. I also greatly enjoy political theory, philosophy, and history. Specifically the Middle Ages. My favorite color is rose gold and my favorite fictional character is Túrin Turambar.

Here's a poem I wrote a while back.

Spoiler

Wartorn.

Tested strength and vaunted heroes,
Soldiers march in gallant rows,
Peace and laughter, strife and woe.

All out war, a glorious battle.

Torture, slaughter, fallen morals,
To the victor go the spoils,
Cannons boom, the thunder broils.

Holy war, a liar's battle.

Tattered flags and burning cities,
Shattered homes and broken families,
Fallen and buried bodies.

Civil war, a hellish battle.

Deadly men, assassinations,
Murdered leaders, captured nations,
Lying snakes and politicians.

Proxy wars, a scheming battle.

Grieving fathers, crying mothers,
Buried sons and silent brothers,
Empty chairs and wounded warriors.

Wartorn families, battle broken.

  War, what a crazy crazy.
  
  I like how you presented proxy wars as a "scheming battle".

  I like it!
  
  Gives me the same vibes as a couple of Coldplay songs: Viva la Vida and Violet Hill. (Which are paired on the album, by the way. The whole thing is a masterpiece.)

  Thanks! I wrote it at like midnight almost a year ago. Maybe more.
  
  It's the only good poem I've ever written.
