The Olympians

Amongst the heaven's vast divides in the kingdom, Of the God's the hills have eyes. Here mighty Zeus commands with an iron fist, And lightnings deadly thunder bolts. Beware humanity the Olympians watch over thee, In the grand pantheon’s arena known as the blue, Planet called earth. Written in sacred text ancient scrolls are legends, Hero's whom fall and rise with the whims of Those four twisted sisters called the fates. Praying in pagan temples to divine deities. Virgin maidens cry innocence tears on the Fallens behalf. Courageous champions performing on, A grand theatrical stage to appease nobility, Almighty audience. Hercules half beings mortal flesh an indestructible Landside of raw strength a force to be, Reckoned with no power on earth could, Over throw his father’s immortal throne. Achilles tempered steel wrought and lain, Upon human flesh. In reverences shadow of a woman’s desist, Dies at the feet of reverences unmerciful beauty, Named Helena. Bloods spear of destiny lies quivering, on The far distant shores of troy. As a wooden horse burns beneath heavens, Moonlit sky. Greenery's loyal leaf encircles mankind’s, Spiritual soul to honor lost hero's in the, Elysian fields of the dead. Silent echoes whispers linger among eight Peaks near creet. In reans ashes and destructions broken temple Walls life remains at rests domanate state. At victory's trumpet call shall these guardians, Rewake to take their place again amongst, The univeral map of galatic stars, The oylampians. But your legacy's remembrances leave, A magnificent brilliance no dynasty can, Compare with your shinning example. We remember thee blinded by thine, Everlasting beauty. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
