WHITE SAILS
On Human Sacrifice and Slavery (which are one and the same)
 
by Katrina Lenay Lantz

KING MINOS DEMANDS A TRIBUTE:
Girls seven; of boys, the same,
to feed the insatiable appetite
of a monster of treacherous fame.
 
Eyes red like the fire that razes,
horns sharp like the bull that destroys,
it looks like a man but it isn't.
Half beast, but all brute in its ploys.
 
A hero discovers the horror
while walking his kingdom's bright shore
and balks at the terrible whisper
that his father could ever ignore--
 
And placidly send off our daughters,
our sons, to their torturous demise.
What falsehood could sanction this outrage?
What marvelous, gilded, proud lies?
 
For surely as good men do nothing
the evil that simmers will boil!
And no one can cool it or hinder
once over the cliff side it spoils--
 
When villages, houses, and people
are swept in its current of fire,
and mankind has turned the cup over
and earned all the wrath and the ire--
 
Of the TRUE KING of all HIS CREATION
who sits not idle but sure,
and sends out His heroes to rescue
each fair son and daughter so pure.
 
WHITE SAILS IF YOU COME BACK TRIUMPHANT!
Black sack cloth if King Minos wins
and the brute with his hunger unending
has sated himself on our sins.
 
Will you become one of these heroes
who conquers the beast in his lair?
Or sanction the unholy tribute,
condemning the slave to despair?
 
WHITE SAILS IF YOU COME BACK TRIUMPHANT!
Black sack cloth if King Minos wins
and the brute with his hunger unending
has sated himself on our sins.
