The Standard

Who am I?
Created like the
Brazen Sun. 

Like leaking dams,
my heart holds not
the love lavished--
furrowed within
my solemn soul. 

An image brought to
Judgement. Unblemished 
by the Flood's stream. 
Will wiles win? Or
shall I dwell in 
the City?

"You can have the world,
but I offer you freedom."
The sword shall strike the
old to their youth.
And I, but observer,
shall take up the Shield?

I am but portion
made full by You. 
A morsel made meal
at the Banquet set forth.
