My Brothers, I Beg You, Put Down Your Swords is a poem, it is a promise, it is a prayer. This is the story, or set of stories, about love for a faith that cannot help but bloody its hands. Too many doors locked to the poor, too many preachers driving benzes, too many crusades.Eventually, it is better simply to put something to rest than allow its corpse to be paraded around by monsters. This book is an attempt to ask those not married to the butchers ways to choose a better path. In that, it is a goodbye. A closing of a door on a bloody past, and the opening of one towards something better.About the AuthorMargot Lewis lives by the occupation of wandering poet these days. From cross country motorcycle treks to weekend festivals to trains from LA to Chicago, she is often on the move. Margot is a queer poet who has lived up and down the eastern seaboard, and currently resides somewhere corn-related in the midwest. Her poetic works began as a personal endeavor in 2011 during military service, and she has been writing since. With this project complete, she sets to jump face first into both the worlds of music, and long form fiction. Catch any updates at her website, iwanttodoeverything.net
