This is the battle for our souls

This is the battle for our souls

A Poem by ron

This is the battle for our souls

 

 

 

Words of 300 - First Battle Scene

 

“This is where we hold them,

this is where we fight,

this is where THEY die.”

 

Upon shields and spears,

we fight and die.

 

Upon the sword they shall parish,

for they came to me in gleaming armor,

spears and swords born of blood.

 

To this I say,

“Let no man or woman ask me to give them to their faith,”

for I will give them what they asked for!!!

 

Let not the beat of their drums or the cut of their swords,

sway my steadfastness.

 

For if it is death you ask for,

than it is death I shall give you.

 

And death you will reap.

 

Upon my brothers and sisters blood,

I will show how you will never take what you do not own.

 

Hold,

hold…

and non shall see us for less than who we are.

 

They shall see us,

as a force to fear.

 

It is the conviction of our righteousness,

that makes us strong,

against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Thank you James. Yes righteousness has a way of giving us the strength to do that.
The wisdom found in your words is profound! We must forge on, though the enemy be at our left and at our right, hold onto our beliefs, and stand firm!! We must show strength of spirit and courage in all things. I presume this is based on the movie, "300" of the Battle of Thermopalae". The Spartans embraced this belief unto the end!!
Excellent!
