Achilles, Bloody Battles, Death's Black Hand As Was Fated
Part Three, (the Conclusion)

Dawn, bright rays fell upon Achilles and his band
exiting ship, Greek sandals felt soft Trojan sands
with mighty magnificent Greek pride in courageous hearts
each seeking greater fame they knew would come as battle starts.

Landing all around was mighty horde of Greek ships
as falling Greek anchors through Trojan waters slip
Achilles, full of joyous prospect of this contest's gifts
gave warrior's brave words to his warriors spirits uplift.

Near their shores, Trojan scouts blew horns, Greek first landing
to Hector, Troy's greatest leader none withstanding
rushing to meet fighters in many bloody battle fought
until sun's disappearing rays flowing bloodshed did halt.

As night, slowed removal of the fallen Greek dead
even Achilles brave men, felt dawn's coming dread
yet Olympic gods felt pride, how Greek warriors had died
as Achilles and his men's glory filled their hearts with pride.

For months, then years the Gods watched as great battles rage
as Troy held out due to wisdom from its great sage
and its massive fortified walls, warriors brave and true
even cruelest of the gods gave Troy's warriors their dues.

Day came that Achilles the great Prince Hector slew
as had so many Greek warriors fallen too
Fate, had not delivered Death's deepest goal, its blackest hand
that of Achilles's sad end, greatest sorrow of his band.

Achilles rose, saw dawn and knew it was his last
a vision, he saw his ship sailing its black mast
true to his warrior's brave heart, he felt not a grievous fear
knowing his life would end, as Death its icy hold grew near!

Fated, Death sent poison arrow into his heel
finally greatest Greek hero did Death's hand feel
was not this end,  his legendary fame that sealed his name
sacrifice that brought this warrior his everlasting fame?

And the climax, that was to then seal Troy's sad doom
as greater sacrifice must enter Death's new room
for Gods decreed that thousands of Troy's citizens must die
to honor this hero's death, defeat was the Gods's new cry.
