Order In the Court

My father did hasten
and had interest in the Knights Templar
that's not why I chasten
and believe in immortality and death exemplar

In medieval times they were protectors
of Christians during their travel
now they're getting ready for the last days as directors
and spreading this message to unravel

They were called the Poor Knights of the Temple of King Solomon
and lived at the Temple Mount
now the Master of the Order is a General of this group chop-fallen
truth or not it's a captivating account

It's possible the deities were angels
and people were worshiping them as gods
that goes against the Bible as does turning tables
in regards to the pagan beliefs they are at odds

I guess it's a way to play dress up
in the current World Order creating anarchy
that's not their role and they will mess up
when the final trumpet sounds to humanity

Often people start out with good and honourable intentions; it then happens that in time ideals change as the world situation changes. There us much to learn from History! ~ Regards // paul

To be honest there was a lot of bloodshed in their crusades and they they misused their religion in that aspect... But we all have different idea of history.. Nice poem though Angela..

Thank you, Silent One. You're right about the bloodshed. I don't agree with that part of it. Have a great weekend :)

Malta was governed by the Knights Templars for a long time and every where you can see their castles, places, churches and bastions. Until the French and English arrived. The we became independent and lost all chivalry. Now corruption rules. ~~
