Manzikert
THE EAGLE WATCHED
ONCE PROUD, FEEBLE
A SHRUNKEN DOMAIN
TAKEN BY HAWKS AND OWLS
THE VOLES PLAYED
UNAFRAID OF BEAK OR TALONS
MICE SCURRIED PAST OLD WINGS
RAISING A HOST
OF HUNGRY BABIES
THE FARMER SIGHED
TINY MOUTHS DEVOURED THE CROP
NOTHING LEFT BUT NAKED STALKS
IN A FIELD HE COULDN’T AFFORD
HURT ECHOES WITHIN OUR WORLD
A UNIVERSE OF TEARS
EACH RIPPLING OUTWARD
A WAVE OF PAIN
A SEA OF COLD
WHO WILL CROSS
ITS STARK HORIZON?
AMID THE BLIZZARD
A YOUNG MAN
GRIPPED TO THE ROPE
THE BARN HID
BEHIND SNOW FLURRIES
THE ROUGH FIBERS
THE SOLE LIFELINE
TO HIS HOME
OUT OF EDEN
THE DRY GROUND
CHOKED OUR JOY
EAST OF NGORO
SWEAT MINGLED WITH GALL
A DRUMBEAT OF BONDAGE
FUTURE CHAINS
FORGED IN BITTERNESS
BETWEEN THE RIVERS
GRASS-SWEPT STEPPES
A WIDE-OPEN SEA
SHOALS OF HORSES
CRASHING IN WAVES
WITH BOWRIDERS
UPON HOMER’S SHORE
A WILD VOICE SHOUTS
AS WALLS TOPPLE
A VILLAGE FALLS
PEOPLE FLEE
SPURRED BY
A DEMON’S TERROR
DANES AND RUS
SAIL THE IRON VOLGA
TURKS, MONGOLS
ROAM THE PLAINS
THE METROPOLIS GREW WEAK
MEN OF LONG ARM
RIP THE CITY OFF
GREAT MINDS
HATE JUDICIAL POSTS
LET THE MEAN MAN
BE HUMBLED
BARED GUILT
FILLS ONE’S HEART
WITH IMPURE SHAME
RATHER THAN ASHES
A COURT IS SOUGHT
TO DEFEND HURT PRIDE
MY PATIENCE
IS NOT WEALTHY ENOUGH
TO PAY THE FEES
ONE'S ENEMIES CAN SOON
GROW INTO NEW FRIENDS
BECOMES A KEY PART
OF ALMIGHTY GOD’S PLAN
HE TIPS THE SCALE OF FAVOR
SON WINS BY DEFAULT
WHO CAN REFUSE
TO NEED FORGIVENESS
FOR ORIGINAL SIN
BUT GOD IS LIABLE
TO FINISH IT
BY HIS FLOOD
MAN’S DAYS
OF WOE TO PASS
THEY RULE BY SIN
THOUGH PAYMENT IS PAID
OUR HOPE: JUBILEE
IN PAIRS
THE DOVES SOARED
UP TO OPEN SKY
AS THEY CHASED LIGHTS
SICK ADDERS
SCALED RED ROCKS
AIMED TO DEVOUR JUSTICE
INNOCENCE LAY DEAD
BY OUR HOPE
UNUSED TO EVIL’S VENOM
NO CHILD KEPT
WITHOUT A GATOR’S BACK
NOVAS UNLEASH
TIN AND FIRE
THROWN ACROSS HEAVEN
AND TEARING THROUGH
EARTHCLOUDS
OARS STRIKE THE COLD
DECKHANDS SWEAT
WITH SALT-BITTEN ZEAL
LONGBOAT VOLGA YOUTHS HUSH
HUGE DOMES LIFT
ON HORIZON EDGE
THE TURRETS OF BYZANTIUM
MEN SEE THE THORNY HILLTOPS
IN AWED SILENCE
RUS FUR
TRADED VIA BUNCH
JUSTINIAN’S SOLIDI
GIVEN TO THROW
A VARANGIAN THREAT
A SHINY GOLD ADJUROR
TO CEASE AND DESIST
FRANKISH TROOPS
TRAIPSE IN DIRTY
TO RE-LABEL
THIN TORCHES OF BURN WAX
SET FIRE TO RED WALLS
EACH DISTRICT
EMITS A WAIL
PAINED CRYING
GIVEN OUR CANCEROUS WAYS
YOU COULD VERY WELL
END UP IN
A TERRIBLE DUNGEON
DAGON’S TANNING
OF A MUTED HIDE
HE
BY OUR IMPURE ANSWERS
IMPAILS
FAILED OSSUARIES
GRAVES OWING
ON UNPAID NOTES
THE RIGHTEOUS ROAD
OR SUNLIT PATH
WINDS AN OPEN
FLOOD-SWEPT VALLEY
A RIVER ARCS ALONG
NEARBY IT UNTIL
FLOODING MONSOONS
DUMP PEAK TONS OF RAIN
AS TIME FLOWS
TO A SABBATH DAWN
IN MILLENIUM PEACE
WE CLIMB TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
MADE THE SHINING BODY
OF A SAVIOR IN SION
THE MYSTERIES OF INIQUITY
ARE REMOVED BY
ETERNAL SUNLIGHT
SONGS BREAK FORTH
FROM A MULTITUDE
EARTH IS REFORMED
WET CLAY
CAST IN THE FURNACE
FERVENT HEAT
HEARTS MADE PURE
THE LAMB HAD TO POUR
BLOOD ON AN ALTAR
OUR BOLD LION
MANGLING WOLVES
YET SOME SHEPHERDS
WERE ANGRY
THE LAMB OFFERED SALVATION
FROM AN ENEMY IN ACCORD
WITH THE WICKED SHEPHERDS
A LAMB FOR YOUR STAFF
A LAMB TO CURB
THE EVIL HUNGER
THE WOLVES DARE NOT ATTACK
MEN IN LEAGUE WITH THEM
A FOLD OF BLEATING SHEEP
COWERED AT A LION’S ROAR
LOOKING UP, THEY WERE
ASTONISHED TO SEE
A LAMB ROARING IN THE HEAVENS
GALAXIES SHAKE
BLACK HOLES TREMBLE
STAR HEARTS FAIL
IN THE MILKY WAY
RAHAB IS BROKEN
THAT RED DRAGON PLUMMETS
LEVIATHAN CRUMBLES
THE FOUNDATIONS OF ETERNITY
REST UPON
THE WORDS OF TRUTH
PURIFIED SILVER
WOVEN THROUGH AEONS
ONCE PROUD, FEEBLE
A SHRUNKEN DOMAIN
TAKEN BY HAWKS AND OWLS

UNAFRAID OF BEAK OR TALONS

Subtext: AND HE WENT BACK INTO THE
GOVERNOR’S RESIDENCE AND SAID TO JESUS, “WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?” BUT JESUS
GAVE HIM NO ANSWER. SO PILATE SAID, “DO YOU REFUSE TO SPEAK TO ME? DON’T YOU
KNOW I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RELEASE YOU, AND TO CRUCIFY YOU?” JESUS REPLIED,
“YOU WOULD HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER ME AT ALL, UNLESS IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU FROM
ABOVE. THEREFORE THE ONE WHO HANDED ME OVER TO YOU IS GUILTY OF GREATER SIN.”
(John 19:9-11 NET)
