HEART OF A WARRIOR  by Anthony Andre Douglas   mistake not my soul is not gone nor fled these remains in fear for as you walk upon my bones a Warrior's Heart still beats here I remember the night you came with hooded head in guilt-ridden robe covering your grinning face of shame in unbound hate to burn my abode Yes! I know you all too well time changes no cowards face you who kidnaped my family to sell four centuries ago this very day and think not that you have won atonement wakes from drowsy years as bones decayed, dried without Sun wait hollow-eyed, crying no tears On you devilseed of Abaddon fire watered by violence, fertilized in hate by that very same serpent liar of Eve's Apple and Adam's Fate so know you this, my soul is not gone and neither will it soon depart for even now as you step on my bones      still beats here a Warrior's Heart
