Jerusalem

Jerusalem

A Poem by Maxwell Ryder

There it is -
Jerusalem.
Time and again
In the history of men,
Fighting and rapine
May bring you fame;
But with posterity
You’ll never win
a crusade.
At best,
you’ll look the villain,
Or just
criminally insane.
History
Isn’t yours
Simply to give or take.
