THE WAR OF THE BELOVED
Folder:
JOURNAL #14 call for me if you will
the hailstorm so human
who stands with his brave
back to the winter chill
his most loyal people call
him the keeper of the still
for he guards the countless
unguarded
from exactly, well we know not what
perhaps frantic robbers out for a
spiritual steal
he gives the torches of discretion
something to think about
as well as the takers chained to
their chants
who take what they want
but at great risk
in exchange for a head stone
placed at the 'foot' of their own plot
forced to battle future robbers of
a distant breed
just like they before
for we know not what
but if we are lucky
depending on which side of the dirt
you are
you will or won't have to find out............
