Just watched Kingdom of Heaven
With Orlando Bloom: what a movie!
All about the crusades In Jerusalem
Way back in the days of yore when
Knights were bold & saved the world
When Saladin fought against them all
How amazing to think it really happened!
How many died to save the Holy Land?
How many actually saved their souls?
What was the purpose of their days?
Other than to go on those crusades
At their Pope's behest: put to the test!
Both physically & spiritually: to what end
Really: what was the end result but death
Death & destruction: all in the name of God
Power struggles: blood spilled uselessly
Into those sandy deserts: Lord what a mess
Blessed Jerusalem in the hands of infidels
The Temple Mount destroyed: built up again
The dome of the Rock: The Saracen stronghold
How much more death will there unfold?
The worst part is: that we fight to control her still!
