The Temple of Iron

The Temple of Iron

A Poem by James Lee
"

Poem about my favorite hobby

"

A Temple of Iron prevails at Doom’s gate

Grunts and thunder fill the halls, amending man’s fate

The ire of stoic hearts transpire, rising higher

Fragmenting flesh to depart from the wretched mire


An arsenal of spears and hammers for grinders

Plates, benches and racks! Our Gods have never been kinder!

Feel the steel and toil with myths and legends

Strive for any mark! Love, Hate or Vengeance


As you hustle you’ll raise robust muscle

A utility fit for puzzle and tussle

Ne’er buckle or bend, you’re heart pumps pristine iron

Our edifice subsists with you, our ardent scion


Your blood, sweat and tears will be remembered

So long as your embers and steel remain tempered
