Warriors Edict

 This is a poem/Edict I wrote. Enjoy and please comment.

Warriors Edict

We are the engines of war.
We stand at the brink of Oblivion
and step into the darkness.
We are fearless and honest
brave and true.

We shed the blood of the darkness
to feed the insatiable primal force.
Stand forward now.
Son of Man. Warrior of Light.

For in you rests our future.
Your soul is your armour.
Your words the sharpest blade.
Should God stand in your way:
Cut him. Cut him without Mercy.

Death is your ally.
He will stand beside you always.
No moment is safe. No mortal immune.
Live without fear of him.
For he will take you regardless.

And let these words rest silent in your mind.
Let each one become you, and in turn
become it.
For it is your duty now,
cut the darkness
Cut it for Eternity.
That is your purpose.
Serve it well son of Man.
Warrior of Light.

    What if the phrase “engines of war” was actually a code for warriors of peace and harmony? Consider a fabulous book entitled, “Manuel of the Warrior of Light” (2002) by Paulo Coelho, the same author who wrote the timeless Alchemist. Food for thought…
