upon seeing a plaque dedicated to the second general of the Parliamentary Army

iron bound memory
forged from hot life
and tempered by time
the man who was there
made to be remembered 
by his deeds, freedom needs
his cause was lost
too much the cost
taken by that thief
light fingered history
the sub-lord protector
who knew no way better
has armoured a wall
awaiting the crowns 
second fall
