Zeus Or Achilles Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Zeus Or Achilles

Rating: 4.3


Don’t let anyone hurt you,
Don’t let anyone disrespect you,
Don’t surrender your dignity
For love or money,
Don’t believe anyone who came before you
Is greater than you!

Live like a god or goddess,
Live with uncompromising confidence,
Live to walk on water
With Jesus as your guide,
Live with faith and pride.

The powers that be
Want you to crumble and fall,
They want you to cower and kneel,
They want you to forget how to feel
Sublime, redeeming love…

You can transcend every defeat,
You can overcome every broken relationship.
You must realize today
You have the potential
Of Zeus or Achilles.

Very encouraging! Achilles is an interesting choice, considering his deadly weakness. I wonder if this was intentional? Regards, Lori

Zeus also had his Achilles' heel - Hera! I think the point is that Everyman is a Hero, so long as he undertakes the Quest. Uriah, you are a pilgrim indeed! - Will

Good message. Achilles had that betraying heel... I'd go with Zeus!
