Notes About The Poem

" A BETTER WORLD " MY PHOTO ©Image may contain: ocean, sky, mountain, cloud, outdoor, nature and water

Solemn Knights of Light

Do not
despair, my friend,
there is still hope for a better world,
for us to make:
kinder,
nobler,
juster

for

I discern,
far on the horizon of time,
the dawning of a new era,
an era,
of love and understanding.
 
Look,
there is the cavalry of the righteous,
all set up to mount their horses of
virtue.

Now,
I clearly see them-
these solemn knights of light-
ready to gallop on the fields of
universal brotherhood
with
their swords of retribution in
hand

for

to overthrow evil's empire of hate and
enthrone, our Lord's fallen law of love,
restoring it to its previous glory,
 
thus

bringing, at last, peace on earth, 
the peace for which our Heavenly Father has
His only son sacrificed!

Too oft defending against a lie is a heavy task. One that many would rather just ignore the task. Yet reality shows ignoring is seldom the correct path. By ignoring one denies --TRUTH- its rightful place! And encourages those so happy to lie to carry on as if their words were the truth! Great poem, definitely a fav my friend.

Beautifully penned! Instead of the four horsemen, a "calvary of rightness." We are often not seen but do battle as a calvary of rightness. Wonderful picture. Congratulations on your POTD. Let's put on our armour and saddle up!

A truly exceptional poem of Love and Hope. In a world filled with despair these words of yours fills us with hope. Your imagery cast is truly amazing filled with a sense of peace. I truly look forward to this day of joy as this world of ours is restored to its former glory. It will be a day worth waiting for. A brilliant Gem of a poem which is my fave my dearest friend....Maria xox
