Raise Your Sword Poem by Aaron Lynn

Raise your sword for the principles and justices you claim.
Raise your sword against the storm, though it may rust in the rain.
Raise your sword for the child who was always forced to nod.
Raise your sword against the foolish who would murder for their God.
Raise your sword for the beauty of the undefiled truth.
Raise your sword against the men who would forbid it from our youth.
Raise your sword for the lands in a tyrannical iron grip.
Raise your sword against the wielder of that influential whip.
Raise your sword for the freedom of the body, soul, and mind.
Raise your sword against the vultures feeding on your growing pride.
Raise your sword and hack away at the manifesting plague,
And find solace in the fact that it was tarnished by your blade.
