Battle of mount Badon

 I designed the map base on the history
The plot and number of warriors involved in the battles
Leaders and how their roles reflected who they were
The map showed an ancient battle yet to be proven

Ashes fell off the page as the captain told me my work had no importance
That despite my smarts I had not the rank for a such a thing
As many things are "Hierarchy comes before competence"
Those at the top are simply to control people

I looked at the others some of them geniuses
Overlooked not taken seriously
Offering considerable contributions
Having them all rejected

How much energy went into learning the land
The different factions how they would fight
The sides of the map were burnt somehow
As if fires of the past had leapt onto the paper

Breaking through time to sign off on my theories
No one would know of ideas or work
No matter how I pleaded
