[u]For My Weapon is…[/u]
My weapon is not forged from the fires of this planet
My weapon is not an element re-shaped
My weapon is not limited to a single universe
My weapon spans across the ages
My weapon can be found through time and space
My weapon is created in the past, present, and future
My weapon writes History…
My weapon can be seen in every breath a man takes
My weapon can be heard in every word a man says
My weapon can ring from every man’s ears
My weapon can be seen in every man’s eyes
My weapon can be found in every man’s soul
My weapon has caused men to sacrifice themselves
My weapon causes Armies to retreat
My weapon causes few to stand against many
My weapon causes men to rise to the occasion
My weapon causes fear to turn on itself
My weapon has climbed the tallest mountains
My weapon has trekked the hottest deserts
My weapon has swam the furthest seas
My weapon has sown the seeds of Bravery
My weapon creates the means of Sacrifice
My weapon forges Legends…
My weapon is Courage…
And you are its vessel
Be Brave.

Nicely done man, very powerful finale!

That was a great piece man! You should start to get your pieces together in a document or a letter or something and then send them in to Bungie maybe you'll get a community focus! I think that your pieces are definitely good enough to get it.

you, my good sir, can write the most beautiful things i have ever read on war and as such i commend you my highest regards -sheds many manly tears-
-
Damn straight. The progression from different states of being and examples worked beautifully together to illustrate courage. Not only that, but you also gave that word and its sense of power to the reader. Man, you're deep aren't you? Oh, also I liked the relevant grouping of stanzas, the organization makes it that much more appealing and clear!
-
Damn this is just beautiful man.

so many words didn't finish it all so i read the first couple sentences cool
