| The Balrogs Of Morgoth By Tomasz Kwiatkowski (LINK) |
Besides having a fucking badass German Metal band (LINK) named after him, Morgoth Bauglir is arguably the most important character in Tolkien's entire mythos. Without Melkor/Morgoth there is no conflict. The early elves as fascinating, peaceful and awesome as they were conflict-free, would never have become badasses without Morgoth's evil to fight. Sauron was his bitch. All great myths and legends benefit from a wholly evil antagonist. Sauron may seem to be the enemy of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, but his will is Morgoth's. If you read The Silmarillion you already know what little there is to be known about The Great Enemy. I wrote a poem about him. Tolkien Fan-Poem? Fuck. It doesn't get any nerdier than this. Ever.
MORGOTH
He was Morgoth
The Tyrant
Eyes of black
Hands of power
Will of wrath
He had a malice
Of such might
He'd turn mid-day
To starless night
The well and healthy
He made ill
With the fire
In the shadow
Of his will
This Secret Fire
Known well to men
Made their wills
His own to bend
Mighty Melkor
Became him
Always wanting more
He felled
The Two Trees Of Valinor
He let Fenwe
Of Noldor down
Wearing The Silmarils
In his crown
From then on
He was Morgoth
Great Enemy
Dark King
From the fire
Of his hate
Were fought
The Wars
Of The Ring.
