Knights and Batteries

Knights and Batteries

A Poem by Hannah Kolar
"

What is the one thing a knight and a battery have in common?

"

The valiant of the

Round table

So 

Eloquently addressed by the 

King

Himself

Armor of

Righteous

Steel

He 

Can

Do

No

Wrong


Superiorly; the 

Narcissistic of the damned

He leads them with a bold faced

Lie strung though

His heart

Breathing news of a 

Curse

Invented by the

Superior

Mind

The pessimistic inquisition of

Such

Scholar

He; the advanced, beyond

The only source of 

Consolation

He

Has

Acquired



Electrons shoot through the

Wire

Heating and

Destroying and

Rebuilding

Clinging to 

Such

Star 

Crossed 

Affection

The tingle of

Protons; disabling the

Alarm

Refuse  

Defeat

Resume 

The game

It is a fight; the 

Object of motivation lost in the

Cinders; bitterly the

Saccharine words burn up in

Such 

Self fuelled

Warfare


He is the knight

I am the battery; wasting 

Away;

Drained of all

Ardor; the 

Machine slows to a 

Rusty 

Nullification


He sears 


I spark


Charge
