To be a knight is to be a servant for the country and its people.
To Become A Knight by Michael Doyle The darkness is coming There's no use in running Ruthlessly conquering as it comes It brings us to our knees Mindlessly numbing Savage as it is cunning Taking us all and not just some Doing as it wills and pleases The world is in need of heroes Waiting on signs from prophecy To stop the lust for power Awakening with a start Surpluses driven to zeroes As far as the eyes can see Fate has come in this hour When even the brave lose heart Still, fighting desire is needed Where instincts call to the soul Still, a boy has to learn his way Despite being knocked to the ground There are lessons to be heeded Consigned within a warrior's role All in preparation for the day When knighthood will be found Doing what he can do Doing what he must do To survive all coming trials He must have the will to become a knight Straight, noble and true Servant of God; protector of me and you Learned of all needed of martial styles He must have the will to become a knight The darkness brings its destruction Burning fire devours in its flames Crushing all that gets in the way As its riders spread the unholy word Wise to the ways of instruction The weak will bear the blame God's knights must hold the day Though the days pass as if blurred (c) April 19, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
