Saladin

You offer terms, I ask for none!
Life's virtues are at stake here...
What will you choose, o noble one?
How will they speak your name?
When battles - won, and dust is gone...
Were we the honor bound, or was it fame?
 
You are conundrum, opposite to time
How could you be so... so unbending?
Despite the wars, and cries and crimes
How is it that you're the last one standing?
 
Great-hearted soul, still sitting by yourself
Admired, feared, respected...
Into the memories you delve
They challenged much, but stood corrected
 
It is unfortunate, to find today
These little bits and pieces
The history accounts, beliefs and prayers
So little bad, but so much praise...
 
Should I believe in myth? I'd like to...
Such motivation - king!
True knight at heart, how much it's worth?
Nothing.......
Everything!!!
