WHITE
ROBES
Probing the cosmos, I espied a view first there was one, then
there were two.
Multitudes came from o’er the globe each arrayed in a flowing
White Robe.
The present - the past - the future - they came each wearing his
Robe with a secret name.
White Robes covered with medals and gold fate of the people was
bought and sold.
Then came the gushing of mighty winds as White Robes greeted each
other as friends.
The wind hastened my ears to hear. Through slightest of cracks I
strained to peer.
I peered White Robes ruffled and blown. I peered their spirits
formed of stone.
My soul gasp! in horror and fear! as Words from White Robes
pierced my ear.
White Robes pitting and plotting their plan White Robes
controlling
destiny of man.
Wind - challenging White Robes to hold them in place fear that
White Robes
would expose their face.
I questioned my sight and sound and soul are these spirits?
the spirits of ole?
White Robes are purest and cleansed by the Blood!
who?
these White Robes all covered in mud?
Thunder and flashes came bolting at me staggering and stumbling
eyes opened to see
To see yore, when White Robes were stolen and worn by those of a
Kingdom
yearning to be born.
White Robes were pilfered and taken from place White Robes
were used to hide their face.
To cover a face and stand purest of all leading the people
to stumble and fall.
Beware! White Robes which are locked in place one must view
a White Robe’s face.
