Never will I forsake my beliefs
In Middle Earth, a fantasy world –
Elves who are noble, tall, and fair;
Hobbits, short with their hair curled.
Dwarves in their halls of stone,
Mining and crafting jewelry;
Orcs who kill without care,
Full of malice and cruelty.
Men who rule o’er kingdoms great;
Dragons that breathe fire.
Dark lords who destruct and wage war,
And who, for power, greatly desire.
