About This Poem
THERMOPYLAE
Thermopylae
(To the fighters of life)
_____________________________________
1.
I fought my way through life against all odds
And came out victorious,
The enemies many, the battles innumerable
The pain unbearable,
But I stood my ground despite the beating
Despite the cost,
2.
I faced malice, I faced deceit, I faced hate,
And also betrayal,
I were cold, I were hungry, I were lonely,
And suffered a lot,
But I stood my ground despite the tortures
Despite the hurt,
3.
My childhood stolen, my youth compromised,
My manhood disillusioned,
I had to accept, I had to deny, I had to allow
And also to reject,
But I stood my ground despite the pressure
Despite the stress
4.
I fought the tyrants; I faced the despots and many
Wretched men,
I pursued my dreams, I built my future
And stood on the top,
By the Thermopylae guarding, despite the torments,
Despite the loss
