Mercy

• Artist: laughably unimportant
• Description: An assignment for my creative writing class. We had to unite three unrelated things (Crusaders, sunshine, and decapitation) into a poem about a single abstract idea (mercy).

Crusaders thunder across the plain.
Red cross on white, emblem of peace:
Uniforms gleam in the sunlight.
Trodding on bloody limbs
And headless bodies.
Ambassadors of mercy.
