Ode to Those Damned Archers

by Kezia Dazhd'bog, Kingdom of An Tir

  The Archer is my Tormentor, I shall not smile;
He maketh me to hide all day behind my shield.
He leadeth me astray with random arrows;
His rapid firing confounds me' He changeth targets over and over for His own sake.
Yea, when I walk through the shadow of hurling missiles,
I can find no respite, for he hath moved;
He answereth not my cries nor standeth in one place;
He stopeth not when I ask and runneth not when I expect;
My work never endeth;
Speeding arrows and thunderous rocks shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall moan and groan on the battlefield forever.
Amen
