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
