White Rose
For Ian

In the eyes of the White Rose
Altruistic tears shed not in pity,
But compassion for empathy’s perceptions
In a universe of injustice.

Honor is not just an attitude, but courses
Arteries as surely as the life-force of Blood.
Hope is not just for the Rothchilds, but a
Birthright treasure bequeathed to all humanity.

Love is not an emotion, but a way of life.
Strength is not a muscular condition, but steadfast
Conviction in the meteor shower of adversity.
Truth is not just a virtue of convenience, but the
Credence of purity and faith.

Victory is not in a bloody battlefield, but the union of
Kindred Spirits as one Champion for the innocent, with
Armor polished in eloquent Charity, swift Sword of Peace
Liberation of the loyal, harbored under the power of the
Shield to Love with heart and mind, body and soul.
