When you need me

When you need me

I stand upon the corner cliff. What madness I have seen, what chaos I have brought to being. All that was one so beautiful, so full of life, is but ashes and dust for time to hide in eternity.

My legs can not hold this weight of dispair, the lives lost for our own selfish thoughts. Were we blind to the truth, or did we truly have no choice?

The once velvet sky, now red as though stained with blood, covers our once peaceful sky. The lapping flames of hate devouring all that stand in their path.

We had no escape from war, yet is it true we had no choice? Why do I still carry this gun when the magazine ran dry long ago? Why do I wear this armour, if all it does is hide my shame?

If my gun is empty, then I shall make it my sword.
If my armour is broken, then I shall forge it anew.
If my soul is shattered, then I shall build it stronger.

I am a spartan, and I will never turn away.


Not while I am needed.

I was listening to a song from halo which, everytime I hear it, makes me wish that humanity was better then it truly is.

We could be so much more by now, yet we reduce ourselves with such trivial things...


This is inspired by Halo, a game made by Bungie/microsoft and, in my personal opinion, a game with one of the greatest stories a game could ever tell.

This is the song that inspired me to write this
