In return, I got to issue a challenge to him, which he has already posted in his own userpage here on SoFurry; he did a very good job of it. Please enjoy both our poems!","content":"One reforms the Love of Christ on thrones above,\n\nSetting sibling heart against the flaming dart\n\nFoes may fling; apart from kindred kinds in art,\n\nDestitute and void — companionship destroyed.\n\nPangs of painted marks, a symbol once in arcs\n\nMulti-colored, stripes of seeking peace; yet gripes,\n\nFlung from certain types, still targeted for snipes\n\nFlail the dying hate; and still do they berate\n\nThough the peace is sought, in rising blood is bought,\n\nAnd this Summer heat will menace with defeat\n\nHypocrites, who greet their \"other\" in a seat\n\nHumbled by their God, whose honor on they've trod.\n\nYet, awaiting soon that day, divided June\n\nBids farewell to past, for peace that shall at last\n\nCome respite the tried and wearied, long decried;\n\nHeart of Christ within, his Love will conquer sin.","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2107608-gareth-the-wolf-knight-commission.json"}}
