They sit and whisper
As if to decipher
The code to a great mystery
That was never lively
Making plans
To evince men from all clans
They scribble
And scramble
In short spatial attire
That threatens to make the sire retire
Limping in stilettos
Only to draw attractive silhouettes
That leaves the sacred
Worried
They wear faces with different layers
The would-be slayers
To slay those who are unaware of the play
Their intentions are so clear
That they slay with no fear
They strike poses
That threatens the doctors to change the doses
Social media is their workplace
Where they post in a recurring phase
As if to win an Olympic race
And I who cannot keep the pace
Leave the would-be slayers to have

THE TALE OF THE AWSOME WINSOME KNIGHT
© 2021 John T Haupt
Armed with luminosity,
And with epiphanous numinosity,
With snicker-snacks,
And a few quick hacks
The winsome knight vanquished
The frumious bandersnatch
In all the fierceness of its abundant ferocity,
And came galumphing back home
In victory.

Dragon slayers, hypocrites;
Have no clue that they kill off
A part of themselves when they,
Are slaying dragons.

Is he down?
I don' know; you wait 'ere,
While I go see/ Come 'ere.
Gut 'im now?
Not jus' yet; check his pulse.
No, high'r up. Yeah, right there.
Now, Pa, how?
I'll show yeh.
And the thunder of God's wrath
Echoed through the wood.

For we are the slayers
Hear our cry:
We stand against evil with selfless intent
We are strong, we are bold
We are proud, we are free
We move as one in the void of night.
We fight together with hands of Earth
We love forever with hearts of fire
We dance together with spirits of water
We learn forever with minds of air.
We stand against darkness with passion and faith
We are brave, we are good
We are stalwart and true
We shall never break,
But shall bend
As a willow in the wind.
For we are the slayers
May the forces of Hell cower and fear
For we are the slayers
Working in darkness,
Protecting the light.
We shall never surrender the fight.
