Knights are gone, Heroes are cowards, Brave men are fools, and Brave heroes are only myths and legends.
Knights are days, Monsters fall, Beneath the shining sun.
In Battle, Knights wield swords, Heroes use shields, Brave men charge, Brave heroes wield powers unknown.
Into battle, Knights ride horses, Brave men charge, Brave heroes appear, and Heroes are nowhere to be seen.
All: Knights are gone, Heroes are liars, Brave men are dead, And brave heroes never were.

Author's Note: I wrote 'Only Knights' in 1985. Though it's a short piece, its themes are echoed throughout my works. Mr. Thater's books can be purchased from Amazon.com.
