The Kensington Rune Stone

Exhilaration runs thorough every pore.
With time’s wisdom, my doubts have vacated,
My eyes have opened like never before.
New discoveries keep me elated.

The Kensington rune stone I learned today
May have been carried by the Norse blood line,
Along with the Templars who came to stay
As they discovered the New World divine.

Welcomed by Natives who became their friends
They buried their treasure with-in the land.
An intricate puzzle stone to stone lends
Of several run carvings chiseled by hand.

The hooked X gives proof the Templars were here.
On American soil they staked their claim,
To later return without doubts or fear;
Safe from their hunters, escaping their fame.

To join with Freemasons, the great and bold,
Those who governed the New World from the start.
Their story continues from days of old
To present powers in which they take part.

They now control congress and all the banks.
We the people are their pawns it would seem.
We live in ignorance as we give thanks
For freedoms we don’t have, yet we esteem.

Still I like to believe what I learned in school
That our nation is great as we shout loud,
Ignoring the fact that we might be fools.
I love my country of which I’m still proud.

Most Americans are honest and true;
Standards of freedom will always remain.
We help others when disasters ensue,
Donating dollars and time without gain.

The few in greed that may govern our land
Will not remove from our people who care;
Those loving and kind who offer their hand,
Those who I’m hoping the world is aware.

Note:
The Kensington runestone inscriptions were made by explorers from Gotland, an 
island off Sweden that had a military monastic order that was possibly the Knights 
Templar. The above links better explain this poem.

connie, thanks so much for your comments on my personal betrayal story from my teen years. About this poem, I think I recall it. But did you add to it, the last part seems new! Or maybe you have written about the stone before and I am mixing it up with this one. Yeah, our country has become so scary, the whole world in fact. Keep up on your great posts, sweet connie! Luv, andrea
