The Protectors
March 20, 2016
A nightly watch
A daily deed
A steadfast oath
To keep from greed
A silent vigil
Of the strong
Who will not yearn
And will not long
Who will not flee
And will not falter
But will lie
Upon the altar
Who will not hunger
And will not thirst
Content with life
And fit to burst
Pleased to fall
Upon the sword
They are brave men
Who keep their word
Protect the weak
And fight to keep
The world at peace
So men can sleep

I literally came up with this randomly on the bus when my friend, who was writing a poem, metioned that she spelled watch, like wrist watch, incorrectly. I then quickly grabbed my device to type this in my notes before I forgot what I wanted to say. I also want to say that you could take this poem many ways. It could be describing a mother protecting her child, the army protecting civilians or even angels protecting humans.
