A couple days ago I wrote this poem with our noble Order in mind. I hope you enjoy it. The first stanza-and-a-half are in the voice of the modern world.
"What need is there for a knight today,
Who fights and conquers all evil in his way?
The world has changed, there is no need
For a fairy-tale heroic deed.
"The fable is gone, the legend wrong,
St. Geroge is simply an ol' ding-dong."
Listen to this, all of you, do,
Does it not provoke disgust in you?
I tell you truly, the world needs knights,
Those who are just, and mighty in fights.
The quest of the knight has not changed in the least:
he must now slay the modern-day beast.
But a knight is not simply a soldier tall;
He must love the true God above all.
When he carries the precious Cross above,
Victory will be with him, and all men love.
This man is what all true men should be,
Protecting the fairy-tale and guarding the nursery.
For this is where formation begins;
A formation on God is a means to good ends.
Let us go on this quest and fight, not fall!
Come with me, my brother modern knights all,
Together, with God, all evil we'll fight!
Satan will fall under His just might.
