Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists broke their vow!”) I do not disavow.   Men

It appears that unbeknownst to me I have in fact been destined for greatness. Like Sigurd, Arthur, and Aragorn it is my fate to be a ruler over men.

"Strange women lying around in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. I mean if I was to say that I was an emperor just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"--Dennis

Rick once again you astound me. I have not attained sufficient gnosis to understand what the meaning of your poem and how it relates to my blog on my life as of late.

You've always been eccentric, and you've become even more so since Luther was born. (Aunts are always weird). And you married Dale. ;)
