Birthed to Battle
March 17, 2016
A third child, nurtured into the Spartan strain,
raised to rumble, was
told he will triumph,
trembled for what approached...
Training through early rise of the sun, till dusk’s end,
brothers scream, “Work harder!”
Twirling, twisting through the nights, he
trembled for what approached…
Proficient enough to battle, he
rode among the rocky roads.
Sweat surfaced as he
trembled for what approached...
Arriving at battle, he
expected a fearless fight, one
till the last man stands.
He surrendered petrified,
he knows what will approach.
