Just.

Put aside your arms

my brother. Our interest

was not the interest yet

stumbling on the mess

we did.

And weeps my infants,

all suckled to fleeting

trembles. If cheeks were

turning, sir, we failed

indeed.

Fear: Now possessed in

our hearts for if our

judgment is idle, no

pardon reconciles what

we did.

I stand here my brother.

I stand here my brother. I stand here strong. 

I'll defend our freedoms from that which is wrong. 

What terrors and horrors our honor beset

and glory with passion our power has met,

but darkness came wreathing upon holy realms. 

So heed my brother, hasten to the helms!

Is war still option or now requisite?

Ablaze are the tempests that have now been lit. 

Draw your arms, let loyalty rang!

So listen to tearful mourning, which sang,

"It's peace that we want, it's God that we need!"

It's our duty to fight; it's our duty to bleed. 

It's our victory we face and our triumph we claim. 

The resulting ruined rubble leaves no one to blame. 

So, we leave our fates guessing and our future aside

as we strive to resolve where evils reside. 

Discern the will of God and know what is good,

what's perfect and acceptable; to know what is good. 

Battles won by force

are the only ones that end

in victory's peace. 

Duplicity

Do you hear that noise?

A hissing of the mind

Offering so called happiness

Leaves its victim blind

See that luring sight?

A beauty deep as skin

Powered by emotion

What truly was has been

Feel that rascal pelt?

So from pernicious beasts

For at this point you've lost

And gracefulness has ceased

We all were once but young

And when we know what's true

This Greater Love redeems

Our innocence anew

Prithee Beauty in Black

'Twas it the purest thy divine eyes seek?

For thou art what my heart and thoughts foretold. 

If ye want change, myself be humbled meek

until I formth perfect in thy mold. 

A man hath perish inching thick and through

to reach such orchid flowerth such as thee,

yet ye thy tabernacle laid construe. 

I hither forth with goals to set ye free. 

Deserveth gold and myrrh and frankincense

for 'twas the gifts befitting all ye soul. 

And I must kneel and search for recompense

to match thy fruits ye lasting glaze hath toll. 

And findth me the strength to make this shown?

With dirt now scattered this shall be unknown. 

D252

"Fasten seatbelt while seated"

reads the inscription. 

It's grey hue and it's sturdiness

has proven useful. Hinged on either

side and indented to secure my

complimentary pleasure; who ever

needs a SkyMall as a companion?

Mine is in its upright and lock 

position prepared to be my

comfort to lean on. 

To depend on. 

To support.
