time has not decayed nor crumbled words of our Forefathers
even though eager and willing rodents gnaw with vengeance
and jealousy
destruction a determined goal armed with mantra zeal and mayhem
blind banal and unwitted mob finds its empty home deserving well
the bait is all it has to justify its existence
long after and evermore intent will be challenged
these words are mightier than the sword
blood was already shed for them
for all and one these ten will be saved
Joseph Phillip De Marco
