Men were given total dominion
over all living things, and when
they subdued their enemy:
they were granted immortality!
Beside every great warrior of old,
there was a strong woman of humility,
who gave him a victorious sword;
and helped him change the course of history!
Emperess Theodora was one of them to show adversity;
when Noka's revolt broke out: she decided to stay,
while her hushand, Justinian, fled the city;
what an admirable act of feminity!
Beside every great warrior of old,
there seems to be a look of invincibility,
a defying moment to obtain glory;
and the cost for a golden crown is well-known!
Be the warrior of modern times, treatened by fear and fragility,
seek out the man you were destined to be;
trust that woman who posseses internal beauty,
and beside this warrior, her courage will guide you with dignity!
