Charge?!

A man's real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. - Thoreau

with the pocketknife of righteousness raised in my quivering hand

the rest of my armor tucked neatly away in some glary corner of my soul

i stand at the battle line

alone

in my skivvies

a stark reminder that

faith ain't for sissies

Author's Note

"As for me, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are now only the subtlest imaginable essences, which would not stain the morning sky." - Thoreau
