Hail to the grim, marauders and kings
For power is in crowns, bangles and rings
The warlike are dead, the peaceful don’t rest
This world is failing, dying at best
The best lines are used
Good principle abused
Virtue will be the end of us all
Hail to the assassin in the dark
For glory is in hitting the mark
The courageous have passed, the cowards rule
Our world is governed by fools
The inspiration is gone
Knights turned into pawns
Virtue will be the end of us all
Hail to the thinkers, philosophers of old
For greatness is in those who are bold
The intelligent are silenced, the imbeciles speak
This world is far past its peak
The truth is not spoken
Rule by merit is broken
Virtue will be the end of us all

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
