The Swords Speak - Assassins Brotherhood

The Swords Speak – Assasins Brotherhood Legend says That a killers brotherhood existed During high Middle Ages Fighting for people’s freedom They were called assassins They were persecuted and killed They had a motto to fight for “Nothing is true - Everything is permitted” Their swords speak of freedom They had it Inscribed on their blades “We work in the dark to serve the light, We are assassins” or so it’s said Their lives were for the cause Their blood not their own They were disposable to the society Not considered one of their own But the brotherhood of the assassins Were fighting a war for peace Their aim, assure freedom The Templars, their nemesis But as I said, that’s a myth In the history, It’s just a legend The Templars became the heroes The Assassins were just erased *** January 15, 2017 Free Verse 9th Place in the Contest The Swords Speak Sponsored by: Julia Ward
