So you want to be a Jedi (poem)

[neosildrake]

Here is something that I wrote yesterday evening, inspired by Star Wars Cosplay and the poem "Maturity" by hobby poet PoetMoe at poetry.de. I hope Star Wars fans won't lynch me.^^

So you want to be a Jedi

So you want to be a Jedi,
Tracing figure-eights with light;
Watching sunset, watching sunrise,
Guarding peacefull sleep through nights .

So you want to be a Jedi,
Fighting evil darkness scion;
Calling powers force unlimited,
Stepping up one for a million.

So you want to be a Jedi,
Forgo anger, greed, hate’s chill;
Dismiss love and mushy feelings,
Say for the greater good you will.

So you want to be a Jedi,
Heed this warning youngling well;
Matters not the speach we sprout,
Who we are our choices tell.

So you want to be a Jedi,
Travelling the galaxy;
Helping those in need of service,
Riding honors pridefull steed.

So you want to be a Jedi,
Respect bows that follow you;
Bow yourself out of need only,
Get great service and discount too.

So you want to be a Jedi,
Adventure waits along the way;
Banish villains with a handwave,
Be the hero of the day.

So you want to be a Jedi,
Heed this warning without ire;
Shadows follow brightest sunlight,
Matters not what you desire.
