Blood Oaths

my blood

a legend

shed for all

born of the

man on earth?

utensil Joseph

the question all ask

used to catch blood

is how much of what is

at the Christ crucifixion

written is true and fiction

truth or fairy tale we ask

may it be relevant or not so

but not in the days of honor

it should be what you believe

that meant more to men than

perhaps it’s not so much who

any possession even their life

and would be more like what

more than one author would

or is it a contemporary ideal

pen the story of a supposed

forcing society that must be

deed or a quest undertaken

a man instead of a way of life

by knights of that round table

could two people agree that our

then red armored Galahad was

interactions are better when civility

foretold he would see the holy grail

at the forefront and not behind us all

he alone had purity of heart to draw

is it that we need a man from history

a sword from stone and from monks

to show us a way from the edge

hold the shield for the worthiest

what you believe is good by me

he was sent to rescue maidens

as long as i don’t have to do it too

imprisoned wrongly in their castle

i want to be able to talk with you

yet he would search on in quest

with no judgement or anger at all

after seeing the vision of the grail

our agreement has to be only to

prison would not stop him either

love one another as he said to

such dedication needs reward

love each other and i like that

in legend it is given the knight

is it really that hard is it to care?

the saints and angels show him

your fellow man is all around you!

as he is a servant of Jesus Christ

believe the savior and be one too

true or not one must certainly see

you never can tell if they might

the complete and utter resolve

just save you as well

to fulfill all you really

so listen

believe.
