Apologetics

Apologetics by Rich Carl

A pologist strode forth one day

in search of dragons for to slay,

his sword like diamond hard and clear;

thus armed with truth he had no fear.

the heathen dragons he did find

and left a bloody trail behind

and those who died not by his blade

soon cursed the day it had been made.

the pologist then met a man

who led a dragon by the hand.

"slay not this beast," that man did cry,

"we're bound for Castle in the Sky,"

the pologist replied, "beware -

for dragons may not enter there."

the man then said, "oh do not fret;

the dragon need not know that yet."

a wizard, likewise, that day walked

and, meeting dragons, stopped and talked;

but he too had a sword with him

and cut the dragons limb from limb;

yet with the sword he was so skilled

that very little blood was spilled

and when the limbs were rearranged

the dragons lived but they were changed.

for magic was the wizard's trade

and, when he forged his mighty blade,

he used a metal from above:

an alloy made of truth and love
