Venerated Fire Lord
I send you a missive
You may find derisive
Worthy to be ignored

My new orders were clear
Continue the slaughter
Let blood flow like water
Let bodies be the pier

Venerated Fire Lord
I refuse to obey
I do not want to stay
And put more to the sword

Though I will be maligned
Counter to your vision
I made a decision
War I will leave behind

Since I began to fight
Nothing but misery
Nothing but barbary
Ever granted my sight

Fire strives to engulf all
Make the world cold ashes
With its deadly flashes
Firebending is man's fall

Peace is long forgotten
Virtue and all its roots
Crushed beneath our steel boots
Left lifeless and rotten

Many died by my fire
It is with guilt and shame
And no one else to blame
That I promptly retire

I will remain hidden
So that none seeks my skill
This cursed skill which can kill
Fire should be forbidden

I have the sincere dream
That more will understand
Fire is misery's hand
And life will reign supreme

If blood has to be poured
In the name of the crown
Go fight and pour your own
Venerated Fire Lord

And if you find my track
Tell the killers you send
They can instantly bend
And I will not fight back
Before you scream "fic theft," I'm Maladin, as this journal entry and my profile say.
