NON NOBIS DOMINE

NON NOBIS DOMINE

Significant, back in the day
Was the Knight Templar cross pattee
Red and stout with its flattened ends
A different message that it sends

Papal directives to obey
Significant, back in the day
A secretive knightly order
Sent to the Holy Land border 

To take and keep Jerusalem
The holy city, a real gem
Significant, back in the day
Try to keep Saladin away

The order grew and was wealthy
Their cavalry charge not stealthy
For years, kept enemies at bay
Significant, back in the day
