Alexander the Great

O what a man, so bold and brave, Could do, his mighty hand could save. This noble warrior was a relative of Zeus himself Or so they say His kingly proise remains today, A standard figure of Persian frays. Lightning crashed and thunder rumbled, Signifying that this man would become well-known, Not one to be humbled. He was said to have tamed a wild horse, By the fullness of his brain, of course. His athletic records, no one could break, For they remained for his pride's sake. He became a briliant man, built like a tower of steel That led some to believe he was unreal. One every man would have yearned to become, His power, his splendor, an unbeatable contendor! Until only by a fatal error, his well of talents stopped flowing For once in his life. No one could save him from this horrendous plight. The face of death reared its grotesque head, And only to the path of enternal stillness it lead. However, his name, emblazened by his noble deeds, very old, Will retain its place in history in its priceless weight of gold.
