Flying in the face of common beliefs, or uncommon for that matter!
*Responsible of the light brigade I’m not,* *However, heavens it comes close,* *The folks I’m writing with put me on the spot,* *When does your horse come in they say?* *You’ve been riding it some time,* *What’s the cause for your delay?* *Forward then I ride my steed,* *Firing blunderbuss and pen,* *Yelling hi ho silver read,* *This I send you bam, bam, bam,* *A mix of heavy lead and lighter shot,* *Take it if you can!* *Alas, it’s nigh the time of reckon,* *I was outnumbered by the Bolsheviks,* *Retreat I thought, they'll skewer my beacon,* *I stumble back I hear these snorts,* *Horses all of Christian feudal lords,* *Of you, they say, we’ll make some sport,* *Now forward, fight the Saracens,* *In my back, was it lance or pen, I could not say,* *I’m in the middle so it seems,* *I figured one in front and one in back,* *Sideways have to go,* *With speed and levity, I made fast track,* *I have consternated my foes, my friends and foes alike,* *Both now chase me down with speed,* *I can't now find a place to hide,* *Nevertheless, as luck would have it soon, it wasn’t long,* *A storm approached now from afar,* *God’s on my side; I thought, for them, he's far too strong,* *Be it Christian Saracen or Mongol horde,* *It does not matter now,* *Such powers have, in lance or pen, of them, I’ll soon make sport.* *Still some times I stumble, and I slip,* *God’s hand, it picks me up,* *I’m in an Angels grip,* *No allegiance does she swear, or ransom pay,* *I know that on my side, she writes,* *I write what she would say.*

I truly enjoyed this one and agreed with it wholeheartedly for the angels are often our muses and vice versa where is organized religion is all too often a hypocritiacal maze to try to decipher.

Light brigade and the four feathers, remember? this poem takes me back to that story; you my friend, were born too late, 1700/1800 I would say taking up with the Saracen or charging with Napoleons cavalry. Lance or pen, you would be there in the front.
