    • My writings are far and fewer between these days. At least I've started working on refining what I post.

    Never Knights
    We were not born noble
    Never considered high society
    We have fought our entire lives
    To disprove the gaze cast from your eyes

    We bleed a river from broken flesh
    And let scars remain that survival left
    Proud we are of from where we come
    And to no injustice will we be numb

    Hell itself could not make us fear
    When a battle is won we never cheer
    Given hope and determined strength
    We pay the cost at whatever length

    Shielded hearts armed with wits
    A sword in hand we hate to grip
    We fight on for life through day and night
    Hearts of lions but never knights

    Clever twist on a theme. I have enjoyed reading your poems this one in particular. You certainly have a gifted talent. Well done!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
