The Knights Templar
In days of old,
When knights in shinning armor
Were callous
And bold...
Many wild tales
Were told
Of
The Knights Templar.
Secret ceremonies held,
Secret oaths taken,
A pledge to serve God,
Never to be foresaken.
Money-lenders,
Money-keepers,
Keeping secret
Their secret ways.
Swearing to serve God,
And the Pope,
Taking their loyalty
To the grave.
In Jeruselum
They fought,
Bringing Order
To the crusades.
Fighting fiercely,
They fought like lions,
Fought bravely,
As no other
Has.
Face to face combat
On an open field,
Many lives taken,
Many were killed.
Man against man,
A clash of steel,
Sword in hand.
Broken souls,
Battered bodies,
Wounds that will
Never heal...
Centuries have passed
Since the Templars
Were disbanded.
Brought down hard,
Not by sword,
Not by chance.
Brought down hard
By the Pope,
And the king of France.
Excellent! Freind
I was captured again by another fine write of yours. I felt this one could be explored more, taken further still into the land of knights. I think the begginning was great, it read just like an old legend! and the ryhme worked well and added to the piece.
