Fierce advocate stands,
Shielding justice's embrace,
Hope in each defense.
Janissaries of Peculiar Fictions

Janissaries of Peculiar Fictions
David J Walker
Janissary mercenary
Defender of the faith
What fate awaits the imaginings
Of the faithful
From the thrown colored in
Peculiar fictions unknown
Whether worlds without end
Life everlasting with
Saints and angels singing
on the heads of pens
Or streets paved with gold
bought and sold with
Favors of 70 virgins
in waiting
Janissary mercenaries
Defender of the faith
The hungry sleep
at your feet
Unnoticed
French, English or Greek
Alexis defends them all
This beautiful name means
Help and Defend
A poet of sound she is
Honest true and strong
Generating laughter
While blending in fear
Steadfast she is among us
Weak I have never seen
Strong are her words
Creating unique poetry
Always standing by me
Waiting and wanting to help
Named with the perfect name
Always helping and defending
Dedicated to my soup poetry buddy and friend: Alexis
B-eacon twenty-fourth February
E-liminates the long night;
R-ise of the sun begins,
N-ew dawn Friday shares the light.
A-n early morn has broken,
R-aindrops start to vanish;
D-ark shadows disappear, fog and mist diminish.
A-fter the moon is gone,
N-either dusk nor twilight stays;
S-tarry sky becomes blue,
E-rasing the coal black haze.
L-et him fulfill his dream,
M-ake him a brave good soldier;
O-ne day he shall stand as the valiant flag's defender.
J-anuary fifteenth morn
O-pens a bright sky Sunday;
J-ust let the burning beacon
O-bliterate the Saturday gray.
G-reat warrior of the Lord
E-arnestly obeys God's statutes;
R-egarded as brave protector
O-r defender of the Good
N-ews.
D-efender of the fold
E-arly Monday first of May
N-ever turns a blind eye,
N-either gives up nor goes astray.
I-t's the defender of the fold who fights against the lies;
S-word of the Lord he uses, showing the truth before our eyes.
L-et the defender of the fold
O-bliterate the enemy's trick;
V-aliant stand against faith's foe
E-xposes the deceitful tactic.
N-ice greeting is sent
D-irectly to the one without scold;
I-t's the amazing acrostic
N-ame of the defender
O-f the fold.
D-efender of the faith
O-bliterates the wrong way;
M-essage of the Almighty
I-s proclaimed everyday.
N-either hand will hinder,
G-iving hope to the believer;
O-pening his arms to all, for them to trust in the Maker.
C-ourageous spiritual fighters
O-bey, serve and pray;
L-et the Lord's soldier win,
O-ctober twenty-fifth day.
M-oving forward to fulfill the will of the Lord so great;
A-llow the fold to imitate the defender of the faith.
M-inister and defender of the gospel
A-ims to stand up for the fold;
X-factor of his divine desire
I-s the true faith that we hold.
M-inister and defender of the gospel gives his all when he preaches;
O-n the seventeenth of May, he debunks the lies of the false churches.
B-rave defender of the gospel
U-ses the truth from above;
L-ogical talk of persuasion
A-ims to show the Father's love.
R-egardless of the situation,
A-ll he maintains is the Lord God's will;
N-ever for a time he drops back as defender of the gospel.
Fruity and chocolate
Cakes and other temptations,
Worry not my dear,
I'll vanquish them all bravely
Before they reach your sweet tooth
I'M a DEFENDER in the NAME of LOVE
Forlorn flavored winds speech of my love strokes
the welcoming distance of eastern dawn
where the somber colored night has withdrawn
and pearls of hope; glitter clear like yolks,
my fevered heart is bursting as I spoke
seeing immaculate hues I foregone--
unto blossoms swelling red I hold on,
while I await to resign slow my yoke.
Why are we torn when just lips start to kiss
and two sundered paths light one perfect bond?
In changeless clamor, will we surrender?
The purpose singing hard to gain, --- and missed.
To troubled waves, no desolate respond,
I'll be forever here, your defender.

The battle was long drawn..
he was fighting against great odds
injured he now is ... it's first light
just before dawn... he repeats
the defenders vows.. a glow of light
a glow of silver light ascends..
In the eastern sky just before dawn
the defenders who are gathered..
mutter names of past, present..
and future defenders..
Jehovah Nisi he is my Defender..
they leave...its the sound of a bird
the sound of a bird calling out..
calling out to my name, your name
Serah.. its the wings of a bird

He has been dubbed The Bay Harbor Butcher by the media,
but his supporters have named him The Dark Defender.
Hundreds of garbage bags have been found scattered on the floor of the bay's harbor
and each one contains body parts, evidence of an untimely death of pure horror.
The common denominator involving these hundreds of victims
is that they were all guilty of committing very horrible, evil things
and for whatever reason slipped through our justice system
to continue on doing their evil doing.
There is an APB out currently
for The Bay Harbor Butcher officially,
He is considered armed and dangerous so approach cautiously
and notify your local law enforcement if sighted immediately.
The Dark Defender however has gained much support and sympathy
and is hoped silently never to be apprehended, but to continue his avenging deeds.
Squirrel plays and shakes
a fist atop the bluebird box....
twelve round stones
Blue feathers strown
empty nesting box today...

I'll be known by this alias:
faith defender and God seeker,
the humblest man of our race,
putting wisdom and truth first;
and I'll be judged, as everyone else,
for my reforming and opposing ways...
If I only sought fame, I'd come easy:
with no sweat or conjuring up schemes;
all I have to do is go along
with society's spoiled and unfair ways,
and swiftly advance my prominence;
and how will I sing the sacred song,
when I'll change my look of spirituality
and choose riches heedlessly?
No sarcasm in words, but perspicacity;
my petition, to everyone reading this writing,
can transform their wrong view
into something purposeful and new:
with no aliases to be known by,
avoiding pertinent comments, just persisting...
Faith defender and God seeker,
endure in your rightful and clean ways
without wishing perpetuity in unmerited works,
but expecting moral persecution by all;
and be ready to wipe off a doleful tear!
Faith defender and God seeker,
persevere and do everything wisely and well;
prolong your earthly stay: to profess and tell...
So this is how you’ve came to be
Now I know how you truly see
You Scorn and belittle those you feel are weak
To hide the weakness you wish not to leak
You think your actions so just and strong
But I will put you back where you belong
Power has caused your judgment to be corrupt
Overconfidence has caused your pride to erupt
I grow tired of seeing you torment frail
Your cause will not prevail
I stand here today
Ready to over come any obstacle you dare put in my way
I am here with only my honor and love to defend
For today will be the day your injustice will end
