Soldier's Tales......II

by Thomas Pender   May 30, 2011


This Walled City
dressed in light of crystals
wherein I must find
the unknowing victim
of my assassin's blade

This blade of burnished iron
envenomed with death
drawn from gossamar threads
will do the duty called to me
on this night of blood

I am but a soldier
who serves embattlements of power
willed by King and Country
to fervently believe
that my blade serves God
