AvengementA Poem by David D CrespoIn the 1440s, Hungarian general John Hunyadi takes it upon himself to use his military authority and fighting prowess to rid the world he knows and loves of all darkness and evil.What has happened to my world...our world? Such darkness that cloaks it, sickly tight A darkness that is like a black, vast cloud But what if it were sunned by hope's light I can allow such wickedness to wreak havoc no longer The tears of a joyful Christ will rain from the heavens onto this wilted world Angels will bless every inch of my blade; top and under And God will force the knees of evil to rock at my presence! I will only cease my defense once the golden sun stops setting and rising The moon stops shining And the tides stop shifting Like a sheep dog who guards a flock from wolves through vicious biting I shall be the cure against the plague of all that is dark Drawn to things which most repel with grimace Glued to them like aged sap leaking out of a cut tree's bark And be feared by things most fear Dread not these thorned times which we lie and rest on For I shall punish the unholy through blood and eternal damnation In a world of violence, I will become its shield and sword In a world with disease, I will become its remedy - its salvation © 2021 David D CrespoAuthor's Note
