Epic Fight To Save Our Home Poem by Joseph S. Josephides

Epic Fight To Save Our Home

Rating: 4.0


Better focus and learn from epic poems,
you, new ambitious masters of the world:

In Persia there was a jealous half-brother;
though he carried away Rustam for hunding,
and trapped him and wounded him to death,
though he threw his horse to deep a cavity,
with fixed lances there to kill him,
his arrow pierces the thick torso through, so
the half-brother died behind the tree, inglorious.

The art, from China to Italy down to Mexico,
hardly reads the kimbla of our scribes,
the Code of the Bible of our Epic.

Fighting as Greeks is how we save our home.
