The Hunting of the Unicorn

This poem demonstrates that people fear the power and goodness that comes from virtue....

There was a time when a creature lived
Magnificent beyond the eyes of mankind
Pure white innocence and wild beauty
A freer spirit you could not find
In the lands of which he roamed
Bringing lost angels home

But in time, as all men do
The people began to fear
His fierce beauty and loving nature too
Perhaps his virtue too much to behold
In the eyes of the sinners voices told
Their holy lies which destroyed him

So in time their faith turned sour
And their hatred was left to devour
He so left this corrupted plane
To the one from which he came
Leaving this world forlorn
The hunting of the unicorn
