Poem

Hooves of horses thundered across the fields 

Onward they came urged by murderous men 

Huddled behind stout stone walls 

Women and children in the halls 

Tears were shed as in fear we waited 

Not knowing what would happen  

as evil came to our door 

 

Where are you we cried in despair losing all hope 

Would we eventually swing high on a rope. 

Faith misplaced on invisible beings 

 

We were few against a mighty force 

Heat from their breath felt on our skin 

Our men were doughty fighters all 

Soon though they would eventually fall 

Over run by superior numbers 

Trampled in the dust by sharp hooves, 

Cheering from throats of viscious men. 

 

Those that survived broken and bloodied 

Hung by their necks until they passed 

Mutilated and despoiled now gone to their peace 

Jeering victors tied us and carried away 

To imprisonment in hanging gibbets 

Facing all weathers and words of hate 

This in the end was to be our fate. 

 

Andrew P  McIntyre.       07/01/2025        (c).
