The king decreed
Everyman seethed
At the notion there be no god.
Not here, ruled the monarch.
Not today.
Maybe god returns
Another day but
Today god stays away.
King said
And he waved his arms in a pathway
Charmed
By the forces at kings call.
Bells rang out and the boys with clout
Flailed all about
While the throngs pushed back around them.
But the boys, they were ready
And hard stare steady
Batons cracked the air and blows colored hair
With blood not reining from god.
Men were stuck knee deep in the sod.
Nowhere to kneel
They began to feel
The king was right
They could keep up the fight
But god wasn’t here today.
