Ode To a Spartan Soldier
Eyes like the Aegean Sea, 
Burn with a passion for life.
Like underwater volcanoes that erupt and make the sea rage.
Poseidon striking the sea floor.

With the intensity for experience, 
Like the fire that smolders deep within your essence; 
As if Hephaestus, God of Fire placed this...

I Am a Spartan
I am a spartan,
feel my wrath,
when I fight it's victorious,
no matter what the odds,

I'll bow to no man,
men will bow before me,
if we ever meet on the battle field,
I will set your spirit free.

I will fight to the end,
for that's the spartan way,
I will never...

Spartan Riches
                by Odin Roark

Creation asks not for center stage

How plentiful these quiet treasures
Demanding not a price
Void of glitter 
Gaff
And loud acclaim drowning
Senses
Reason

Imagination pursues instead
Honesty’s nod
The up and down gesture
Everyday...

Witch Craft Or the Spartan Queen
(To the Spartan Queen) 

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra via
Mi inoltrai in una selva oscura
  
‘They drive horses down this hill’ 
She said, 
‘They take them to drink down there, that pool, there’ 
She said it as though it mattered 
As though I should...

Spartan
Imagine home's a shopping cart
Imagine nothing in the larder
Imagine what would fill your heart
Ignore it and your life grows harder

How many shoes from which to choose
How many sweaters make you better
How many starving on the news
Will make you see that greed's a fetter

Deny a crave,...

A Spartan Life- G-G
A Spartan Life - (g&g)

Spartans have no blemishes, no fears, kill inferiors
Destroy their sick and babies with imperfections
By sword or place them by a mountain side
Wolves take care of these matters in savage manner
Make meals of the weak in quick fashion
Nature turns the other way
Reserves...

Spartan

Some men are born to play, 
and some… are not.
To them life is without common joy,
at least the kind others partake. 
But it is instead more tempered with
the metal of red blood;
courage, bravery, loyalty, tenacity!

Laughter abounds when their families are safe. 
Love for their women,...

Spartan was a wicked task
Full unmasked the evil presence
Violence against a brother rewarded
Quick the silencer will reap

For no value kills another
Yet the process lumbers on
In the wood and city streets
Another victim preyed upon

How shall we make amends?
By the precepts of His laws?
The balance greater drifting...

Spartan Boy
Lives in my homeland
He fights not the enemy,
but himself in the mirror.
The mirror eternally strong,
will never break into pieces

One day Spartan boy will tire,
and collapse due to fatigue.
and accumulated impiety...
