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.
