Chapter 1 - Well... this is a poem, so there really is no chapter
He rode on
Through the dead of night
Not stopping
Not speaking to anyone
He had to get to his family
Before disaster struck them first
The men had weapons:
Swords and spears
Marching toward his home
To eliminate his family
He had done something wrong
They should not suffer
Their lives should be spared
While his was taken
As he raced home
He came to a terrible sight
His home ablaze
His family slaughtered
He looked at them once
Then turned around
Never to look back
To see if any survived
He fled to the hills
On his horse at full speed
And that is how he became
The man who killed his own family
It may seem legend
But it is not
And I should know
For I am the soul survivor
Through the dead of night
Not stopping
Not speaking to anyone
He had to get to his family
Before disaster struck them first
The men had weapons:
Swords and spears
Marching toward his home
To eliminate his family
He had done something wrong
They should not suffer
Their lives should be spared
While his was taken
As he raced home
He came to a terrible sight
His home ablaze
His family slaughtered
He looked at them once
Then turned around
Never to look back
To see if any survived
He fled to the hills
On his horse at full speed
And that is how he became
The man who killed his own family
It may seem legend
But it is not
And I should know
For I am the soul survivor
