Ravensong Poetry And Writing Blog by Donovan Baldwin

Don't destroy their temple, boy,

Don't defile their creed.

Like you, they know what heartache is,

And, if they're cut they'll bleed.

They're just like you and me inside,

They've got a word for love,

They built that "heathen" temple

For someone like your god above.

They'll fight to save their daughters

From a devil such as you,

They don't live by rules you know,

But, they know what they must do.

If you want to win their hearts

And safely homeward go,

Act with honor and remember,

All the things that you don't know.
