Son, inspire others; lead by example;
Amass friends whom wont betray or trample;
Mass attendance
For your soul’s ascendance:
The mind’s ascent to faith and transcendence.
Self denial, a mastery of self,
True beauty enjoy; the rest you can shelve;
Curse the devil,
Drown vice below level;
Bring, beat down dirt: every trace of evil.
Temper lust and the carnal appetite;
Bar brute temper, this thirst for blood, and fight
Right: the downtrodden
And persecuted men:
Teach credence for those led by religion.
Study valiant men, the noble saints;
Take relaxation to loosen constraints,
A holy wife,
Children; partners for life:
Will minimize the pains of strain and strife.
Boys need fathers to follow formation;
Fathers to father men of great nations;
Love courier,
Chivalrous warrior;
Stone workmen: men move rock: the quarrier.

Thank you Orchidee.
“Within the broken Vatican
The murdered Pope is lying dead.
The soldiers of Valerian
Their evil hands are wet and red.
Unarmed, unmoved, St. Laurence waits,
His cassock is his only mail.
The troops of Hell have burst the gates,
But Christ is Lord, He shall prevail.
(Excerpt from the poem “St. Laurence” by Joyce Kilmer
