of Rise of the First Front\n\nOne last poem to get you excited, and while peace might remain in Carson City, albeit uncomfortably, the Kagens have other worlds to take care of and here is one to show off a bit more of my literary prowess, and if you like it please help me get popular and spread out my stories with a favorite and a vote, it may not mean a lot to you but it does to me.","content":"I'll tell you a story I know\n\nBut it does start off very slow\n\nI learned as much from all my experience\n\nThat in all most it is of the up most serious\n\nThe lesson to be learnt from all of this\n\nIs to learn some of bliss\n\nAnd what I have sworn\n\nIs that those walls are meant to be torn\n\nOnce in a land much different from our own\n\nTwo tribes had been waring because a stone had been thrown\n\nWar broke out between the masses\n\nAnd both sides fought valiantly with brasses\n\nAn Earth different from the one that you know\n\nAnd peace from above interrupted the status quo\n\nAnd while all had been thought lost\n\nThey above all else disagreed with the cost\n\nIn fact they said they are an interested third party\n\nAs they landed on the ground the three had all started off hearty\n\nThis group was the same except one\n\nAnd the person named Benji thought it would be fun\n\nLooking back on the plain, he was glad the warp didn't go awry\n\nHe'd seen it before, temporal spuds exploding and they might all go sky high\n\nThe leader said they would go on horse\n\nAnd with a quip Benji let him know he was coarse\n\nOn that bit awkward note the three were departed\n\nAnd one knew this was not a trip for the fainthearted\n\nFor the mortal affairs\n\nMortals would give them what is theirs\n\nOf course Benji was different from his peers\n\nThey tended to be ones to grind gears\n\nWhile he was with them, both immortals\n\nAnd they could generate portals\n\nAnd Kagens are what they called their name\n\nAnd to all but one, they would call Benji a bane\n\nThis made for annoyance\n\nWhen the leader acted like he had clairvoyance\n\nAnd on the primitive world within the group traveled\n\nThen identities quickly unraveled\n\nFirst off was the one I was familiar with the most\n\nAnd in their adventures I could boast\n\nAnd of course this Kagen was known as Bright\n\nOnce I feared him but now he knew him as a knight\n\nAs their horses trotted along, in the golden sun\n\nThe two knew that soon after they would both be back on the run\n\nStill hoping from place to place, along the void\n\nWell Benji thought of it nice, especially when they destroyed the android\n\nBright fought for good and with a smile he beamed\n\nI knew in my heart that after all Benji's work he had been redeemed\n\nThe world that they were in was primitive\n\nTrees loitering in the land filled with medieval like citizens\n\nAnd as our horses trotted along, Benji looked to his side\n\nAnd sitting there was the man who once controlled the tide\n\nTwilight was his name\n\nAnd in the previous universe he might have gained some acclaim\n\nAnd they knew that when we arrived, he surely was now a bit mean\n\nBut that didn't matter because they arrived at the scene\n\nTwo groups had arrived at the clearing\n\nAnd it was obvious that the conflict between both was nearing\n\nThey dismounted our horses\n\nAnd he knew this fight wouldn't be fought with armed forces\n\nUnlike the world of his own where war was fought with guns\n\nBenji knew this wouldn't be fun\n\nYet for the future civilization here might know\n\n\u0026nbsp;With this worldly forest, a different Earth with a war fought with arrows and bow\n\nAnd as the Kagens approached them, their leader looked to be stand over them\n\nIf all went right then after the end they would be under his thumb\n\nBenji glared to his side, \"This idiot is going in with too much aplomb\"\n\n\"And why am I rhyming without qualm?\"\n\nThe Kagen sighed, \"It's a filter placed on this dimension\"\n\n\"Just leave it alone and don't give it much attention.\"\n\n\"Whoo boy this is going to kill me.\"\n\nThe leader, Twilight acting as much as a marquis\n\nStood above the settlers looking with false care\n\nAlas they knew he was filled with hot air\n\n\"Sir.\" A settler spoke\n\n\"What will you do to end this war in one stroke?\"\n\n\"We will build a wall straight uppity!\"\n\nTwilight said with not much subtlety\n\n\"Has the fool not learned not to attain peace?\"\n\nI said looking at the Kagen filled with caprice\n\n\"But why must we be separated can our races not live together?\"\n\n\"Trust me this will send this place into the nether.\"\n\nI stood up and decided that it would be me who spoke\n\n\"I disagree, you Kagen bloke.\"\n\n\"Ah and look at that the Earth one talks.\"\n\n\"Who gives you the right here in the boondocks?\"\n\n\"I think you're in the wrong.\"\n\n\"And I think I have the right, I am just as strong.\"\n\n\"Twilight!\" Bright yelled\n\nAnd the Kagen's head unswelled\n\n\"Ah and see the dragon emperor speak.\"\n\nTwilight spoke, trying to make his brother meek\n\n\"Brother I don't have to play that game.\"\n\n\"Why do I have to take all the blame?\"\n\n\"Either way this wall needs to be built.\"\n\nTwilight said trying to make the other two wilt\n\n\"No it doesn't peace can be attained.\"\n\nBenji said becoming quite strained.\n\nTwilight turned and frowned, \"And you think I should care?\"\n\n\"I have a far more than a million words in my share.\"\n\n\"To spend the time helping each and everyone\"\n\n\"You should do it then!\" Benji said with the force of a metric ton\n\n\"Twilight, you know he is right, one Kagen cannot handle it all.\"\n\nBright spoke, \"We need to give all the attention to these meatballs.\"\n\n\"Fine then, go to the next adventure that you need.\"\n\n\"And on this world on one will bleed.\"\n\nTwilight took some humbleness and looked at the two\n\n\"The people here will be glued.\"\n\n\"Together one in the same.\"\n\n\"Truly this has been an interesting day.\"\n\n\"No really don't screw this up, use the most subtle touch.\"\n\nBenji spoke, \"I think this world has had too much.\"\n\nOne of the leaders approached, \"Well maybe this will be peace in our time.\"\n\nBenji glared at Twilight, \"Careful, that last time that was said it was a war crime.\"\n\n\"Do not underestimate our world, we will find a deal that is fair.\"\n\n\"I will help you most honestly, I do swear.\"\n\nTwilight spoke and tried to look like an open book\n\n\"Well Twilight, don't tell me you're not a crook.\"\n\nBenji spoke, \"Well as long as you're not a used car salesmen.\"\n\n\"Either way Twilight, we'll be off, help this world find Zen.\"\n\n\"Don't disappoint me for Dawn's sake.\"\n\n\"Well we have a lot at stake.\"\n\n\"Good luck brother.\"\n\n\"Don't smother.\"\n\nAnd like that we on horses were off\n\nAnd between us not a cough\n\nUntil at the landing we arrived\n\nBenji sighed, somehow we survived\n\n\"He's becoming more erratic.\" he pointed out\n\nBright spoke, \"I won't give it a doubt.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"This rhyming is killing me, let's get off this planet.\"\n\nAnd Twilight getting off the horse, put his hand up, \"Okay, Janet.\"\n\n\"See what I mean.\"\n\n\"Don't worry my queen.\"\n\nAnd with a bow of loyalty\n\nIn a portal we took off like royalty\n\nTo each and every world that came next\n\nTo explore the universe, so complex\n\nAnd really the lesson learned that day is that sometimes people\n\nLean too much on their own steeple\n\nAnd forget their own ideals\n\nAnd end up falling on deals\n\nOf course most of all, don't build a wall\n\nBecause either way, one day it will fall\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n
