Best Aztec Poems
Aztec SummerThe Mexican midsummer sun
beamed down mercilessly, vertically,
so that men's heads and shoulders glowed
but their faces, and every human expression,

only for a moment at a time
with the pounding of arms and legs.

A symbol of power and glory
Fearless in combat of fists and arms
Causing harm became a norm
Over their enemies their dominance displayed
Rising from the ranks a warrior was raised
Like a god in mortal form he was so praised
