Judge me fairly

 

Blades Clash with tiny flares of angry heat

            leaping from one side to another,

Blood is inevitable,

            How much depends on the leader’s depth perception,

 

Some decisions can make or break

            The battle of prowess.

Split seconds from defeat and achievement,

            Too close for those on the home front to see clearly,

 

Judgement is clouded by misinformation, greed,

             fancy dinners with bright lights, and fake smiles,

Just when the cloud couldn’t be lifted

            Pure intentions and compassion make a dent,

 

Blades will always slam against each other,

            Each how and when is questioned by the audience

But the falsity of a new leader’s mind and mouth

            will always be met with a blunt shield.

this reads like a good vs. evil. you long to be treated fairly. you have been misjudged in the past and were forced to protect yourself. you have good intentions and compassion and that is the difference between them and you. this is pretty cool. i enjoyed it and you wrote it so well. excellent.

Thank you, that means a lot that you enjoyed it. :)

That is basically how I had intended for this to go. Maybe not so much 'evil' but a major difference in opinion vs informed opinion.
