About this image

We all know that the war between Stormcloaks and Imperials is a waste of lives. Both sides are in the wrong. So I present to you a poem that I like. Because war isn't worth countless lives.

"Your daddy died a hero, they tell him
Your daddy died so brave
But all that little boy understands
Is his daddy's name on a grave

Your husband died a hero, they tell her
He died so we could live free
But all I really want, she says
Is my husband here with me

Your son died a hero, they tell them
He died so this war could be won
But the parents don't really care about war
All they want back is their son

Your friend died a hero, they tell them
He died so this violence would finally end
But war is not the answer, they say
And now we've lost another friend

You died a hero, they tell him
You died so others could live without strife
But he doesn't really care about others
All he wants back is his life"

-"Death of a Hero" by Tamara K

    I think this war is a good chance to enact some good old race wars, especially if your are a Dunmer... or any sort of Mer
