These Two Guys Poem by Richard Jarboe

These Two Guys



These two guys were Tyrannicides,
One had a beard, the other clean shaven,
Naked, bronzed, and iron men fit,
These two lovers would never quit.

There's a legend of these two and their heroic deed,
Songs are sung old and new how they overthrew tyranny.
These two were a brilliant irresistible pair,
Compact, sinewy, hard and fair.

They acted as the flesh of one,
And these two men stood above all,
Together they did orchestrate the demise of a potentate,
Giving citizens equal rights under the law.

A great light shown when Aristogeiton and Harmodios killed Hipparchos.
To achieve justice you must be willing to fight,
Sometimes to get past the darkness,
Democratic icons choose swords gleaming bright.
