Achilles

Bathed in the stream of the undying waters

Immersed alongside lost sons and daughters

Emerging a born victor- Steeled and ready

Who knew the Fate's gift would be so heavy?

Raised in the field and made for war

Unbent and unbowed by the great king's law

Sowing death and destruction in the heat of battle

He slaughtered the ranks like herds of cattle

He lived for the promise of undying glory

Knowing full well the tragic end to his story

But for all his loyal love and crazed bloodlust

He was struck down at his highest point and left to the dust
