Once They Were Great Men




TPGCoA. Pictures, Images and Photos



Daylight blessed their blazing swords,
Vagabonds, they were not, but called themselves, warlords;
They simply breathed to pursue and conquer,
They arose with voices of thunder.

Off they marched on endless wars and battles
And led forth victorious to their homes and castles;
Wreaths were offered for their strength and valor,
Chariots and shimmering breastplates - their emblems of honor.

But they died like the withering grass,
Burned and chaffed in the oven;
Only the memories remain . . .
That once, − they were great men.

"Valiant men lie despoiled,
Sleeping their last sleep,
Not one of them lift a hand,
At your rebuke O God of Jacob,
Both rider and horse lay stunned."
