Commands Are Front and Center


by Brian Jones



Added 13 October 1997


Commands are front and center,
finely worked in gold,
Timeless gold.
Timeless morality?
The Templars at the back
would say yes.
For the most part,
so would I.
But in the deeds
morals come to nothing.
Six, at least, the Templars broke
in fighting their crusades.

Morality sparks the fire
that consumes the soul.


Written 18 April 1996, The Temple Chapel, London, England
