crusaders christianized, zealous warmongers with ****** stains on stainless steel blades hauling with them the great flapping insignias of royalty, emblems of their special heritage disregarding the fact blood flows warm and fast all the same, nobody spared familiar ties shattered over petty disputes of land and territory in the name of a great purpose a great purpose disguising glory-seekers and painters whose favorite color is red led by a massive snowy warhorse with crimson hooves and jet black beady eyes old, worn, and of a raggedy golden mane forever worshipped it is my fate to follow (that’s what they tell me)
crusaders biblical storytales springing to life as they gallivant across the country singing do-goods while their actions connotate some great demon lurking about behind their holy words valiant warriors in service to a mighty omnipresent deity watching woefully from above as they unnecessarily **** innocents that they knew it was wrong to ****** blind belief is as alive as bloodlust to them, screaming their lungs out for the almighty they are the salvation and the scourge, leeches of the land and lordly leaders for long fearful eyes of aliens stare to the sky and grovel in a piteous attempt for mercy he cannot condone this (and that’s what they don’t)
crusaders knights of cardboard armor and ironclad skulls falling by the thousands yet they relentlessly hunt the enemy like predatory raptors of the past, voracious not yet declawed or defanged as they are before the plastic wisdom of man claiming to be the god of glory, gold, and gore; suddenly he is a savage ravager and avenger of the undead men swear themselves to a cloaked idol in order to become accusers of the guilty when the openness of perception may be all that is truly necessary even kings are defenseless against the all-consuming force of religious blessing how is it just?
crusaders god’s greatest success crusaders god’s greatest regret (am i both or neither?)
