The Legend of Coras

Within this place there is sorrow, but within the sadness there is truth. Look beyond the pain and you may see the lessons that life has brutally taught me.

A True Story is the story of part of my life. The Code of Ages is the philosophy that I try to live by every day. I place both here so that maybe someone can learn from my follies and not have to suffer the same fates as I. The Chalice is another piece of me. Comments of these pages are welcome, but flames will be dealt with severely. By flaming the content of these pages, you are degrading something close to my soul.

Code of Ages

Upon the journey known as life,
We all must know the ways of the world,
Or perish along the wayside,
What does not kill us makes us stronger.
Be wary, traveler,
For along your journey you will find,
That little is as it may seem,
Deception and illusion surrounds you,
Threatens to drown you,
In an ocean of doubt and confusion.
We stand in the juxtaposition between many illusions,
Who is to say what is truth...if anything,
There is a way to discover the reality,
This secret is buried deep within us all.
We must know ourselves before we may understand,
All which surrounds us,
We must also know our enemy as well as ourselves,
For with this knowledge, we may always triumph,
The battle is never-ending, but not so the fight.
Make love, not war was once proclaimed,
Yet love itself can be the hardest battle you shall ever fight,
More deadly than war itself,
Yet the spoils of this fight may be more than life itself.
Electric blue, a paradox within a parody,
The numbing, tingling, excitement of emotion,
Mixed within the melancholy of pain and anguish of sorrow.
Coras, Prince of Sorrow,
A title endowed me,
Not a title of pride or a title I hold dear,
Yet within this title lives truth,
No illusions, no deceit, but truth.
Honor is slowly fading into the darkness,
Righteous are you, M'Lord,
And blessed are you, M'Lady,
For you have maintained the Code,
That which sustains what little society we have remaining.
Go forth, knight,
Seek the righteous and strengthen their soul,
Guard well the Code,
For there are those who would tempt you away from it.
The Code is as old as the ages,
Older than the ten commandments,
As old as mankind itself,
Why do we allow it to die now?
Study the ancient teachings of the Elder Knights,
Let them, and your conscience, be your guide,
Teach those who wish to know the truth,

Coras

Wisdom in thy eyes
Knowledge in thy mind
Forgiveness in thy fist
Kindness in thy heart

Truth in thy tongue
Polite in thy socials
Integrity in thy word
