Draw your Sword

Draw your sword

Gag that mind

Smash that brain

And give that reason

All and every of

The feel of your heel

And the soul of your sole.

Gag that mind

And when its doors try to open

to the seduction and lure

of the type and kind

parallel to good

stick a stone in the hinge

stalling and stilling the process

and put the gear in reverse.

Smash that brain

Whose grey matter

Is now coloured

with The shade and hue

That is wont to draw you

Hundreds of miles from the ooze

Of the glory of the hallowed point

Where divinity first wooed you.

Give that reason your heel

Stab it with a sickle

And make it worth less than a nickel

Maybe a number one pick

For dog pickle

Since its pencil fangs

Toil and tend, with gusto

To poison the God In and around you.

Will you not tilt the balance

In favour of the Most High

When you feel the cataract Of disbelief

Causing you the pity of a grope

When full sight sees you clear

And you become latter Samson

Led by a lad?

When it seems there has been murder

Commited

On faith’s land

Stare daggers of death

At the culprit

And When seeds of doubt sprout

Transplant them

To a nursery of no return.
