Prayer

[New]

God, with Venom
as my sword, I shall
never lash out, but strike
only when the time
comes about.
With Strength
as my shield, I shall
actively defend those
unable to guard from
life's end.
With Beauty
As my armor, I shall
always disarm, not with
force but with candor
and charm.
With the Righteous
as my brothers, I shall
never forget, not the
fighters nor the fallen who've not
risen yet.

God, with these things
that make me young.
God, you are these things,
Thy will be done.

Nice one. The venom of gods emmmisary with a winner I like the definite prayer vibe about it, as well as the wrathful feel...most excellent

Thanks guys.

It's interesting that you find it wrathful, because I find it rather restrained. Wrathful from me is a whole different story.
