The Seven

[Solivagus]

Seven Wards of ancient lore,

For earth's protection, wall and door.

And one High Judge to command the Law,

To wield the staff and guard the core.

 

Seven Words to name evils might,

To bind it's cruel, foul might.

And one pure Judge to wield the staff,

To bar the earth from evils sight.

 

Seven hells for failed faith,

For earth betrayers, man and wraith.

And one brave Judge to stem the tide,

To stop the evil calling foes to it's side.

[Rhapsody]

I sense a epic story behind all of this. It sounds like something out of legend, like the poetic works preceding Tolkein's Lord of the Rings.

 

Is this in any way religious? Because I'm recognizing the seven deadly sins and the seven levels of hell from Dante's Inferno. But I'm not familiar with the seven Wards.

 

I like the rhyme scheme, especially how it changes at the end.

 

I liked this idea:

 

And one pure Judge to wield the staff,

To bar the earth from evils sight.

Bravo!

Very tasty!
