Not just a name , no more even a man, Unjust time would have him a demon, Yet, there was more than death to Bloody Ban, Far from a saint, as far from a daemon. History abides no moderate greys, Is never written by the defeated, With victory, the Ban would have his praise His reputation not so mistreated. Virtue is virtue, even if brutal, In every war each side will have dead, Duty has glory, even when futile, To march into war with no signs of dread! Black and white history...no in between? No room for the loyal, the proud and green!
