Call The Brethren. Poem by Tor Silvertongue

Call The Brethren.

Rating: 4.3


Sir, I see you walking in my land,
Mighty sword and shield in hand.
You preach of this God,
This dying man.
Saying my Gods,
Are all shams.

I will not forsake my fame,
I will not call out
In Yahweh's Name.
I will not bear your pious cross,
Trust me, friend.
My soul's a loss.

Convert or die,
Is what you say?
Convert, I won't.
But die,
You may!

You act like lambs
Awaiting slaughter.
We are the wolves,
The great marauders.

Norsemen, should all heed this call,
Push these zealots from our land,
Or by Odin's grace, they shall fall.

Call The Brethren.

An insightful depiction of 'holy horrors' committed by religious bigots and zealots, elegantly penned in good diction with conviction. Thanks for sharing Tor. Please read my poem COLOSSAL MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE (i.e. the death of Christ)

I think the word in the picture is supposed to be ANCIENT instead of ANCIET.
