WHEN SHOULD THE CHEEK NOT TURN?

HOLY FATHER, VICAR OF GOD

“I beg you answer, we cry out in the plains, we mourn,”

OH HOLY FATHER, VICAR OF GOD, I stood in the square of the village and my eyes shed tears. Before me, my livestock and its shepherd dog lay dead on the grass. My mind flutters, my arms tremble, my hands shake. Blood dripped upon the sign, ‘Feed the livestock, ask for bread and honey and meat and leather, we have much to give, I beseech you don’t take without pause!’ Words that I wrote in generosity are stained in the blood of selfishness.

 

 

HOLY FATHER, MOST WISE COUNSEL

“We are called to forgive, but how can I unharden my heart, my friend lies dead?”

 

They came and killed him without mercy, and he lies dead. Blood has now stained our grass and our waters, and he lies dead. The mill hath been pillaged, and he lies dead. Oh, father, Oh mentor, I cry out in the plains. I have never beheld a sword, but the word cannot escape my lips. An Angel hath spoken to me and demanded satisfaction, but yet he hath not returned, and I cannot comprehend this world.

 

And he lies dead.

 

 

OH HOLY FATHER, WHEN SHOULD THE CHEEK NOT TURN?

Spoiler

Despite the offer of free meat and leather from the poor peasant village, a Chud has slaughtered the livestock and the shepherd dog. Moreover, they did not have enough respect to use proper grammar.

 

This will not go unanswered...
