You knew
This time would come
When I would have to leave you
Not by choice
...
Shakespeare falsified Richard's memory
Appeasing Tudor royal line with lies
Claiming him unfit king and bloody tyrant
Crown taken on bloody Bosworth Field.
...
After supper with his disciples
Jesus went alone to pray
And in the garden spoke to his Father
Lord God Almighty.
...
(A prophet is without honour in his own country)
Jesus Christ
Oh, lover of honeycomb boys
...
I placed friendship
Upon you
Saw brilliance in your sunrise.
...
(Soldier's lament, France, World War One)
Go tell the sergeant major
Private Jones is dead
...
Proud Highland stag hears howling hounds
Turns fleeing for his life
With huntsmen spurring on horses
Hunting horn blown at full gallop.
...
Soldier cowering in mud
Overwhelmed, terrified
Weeping, body trembling
Hears scream within the mind
...
Beauty to the eye and soul
Home of the Mongol people
Proud friendly, courageous and happy
Dwelling on the vast grasslands
...
Death's footsteps echo chilling the mind
Following creeping ever closer to bring me down
Snatching away my soul, taking away the light
Engulfing within his shadow and power.
