Spartans Bridge
The hammer rises
The sickle moves to mow down…
Ukraine Europe’s shield
The USSR reborn
Never did disintegrate.

Poetic Justice
We went to Tegia to capture slaves
And we took some fetters with us.
But in the end, we Spartans were enslaved,
And they fixed our fetters on us.

A foolish woman does here lie.

Thus died mid strangers in this place.”...

Simonides Translation
Passerby,
tell the Spartans we lie
here, dead at their word,
obedient to their command.
Have they heard?
Do they understand?

The Battle of Thermopylae
Hearing of a Persian invasion,
the Spartan King marched for his nation,
To a narrow pass, he would defend.
Persians demanded they drop their weapons,
Spartans replied, their future destined,
"Molon Labe" Come and get them!...

Spartans
The spartans are up to uphill the hill.
The spartans do not retreat nor surrender.
The ability to unveiled the veiled.
The power to over see the unseen.
Yes am a spartan.
A spartan of my life.
A spartan to the end of time.
Yes am a spartan.
Am a top notch spartan.
A spartan who strain every nerve to appear on top.
Yes am spartan.
Don`t try me, cos am little like an ant but a lion in display....

The Spartans
Ancient tales slashed our vineyard,
We were the bloodshed of love...
Cupid fleshed our hearts.
Austere eyesights.
Fierce catch upon your mark,
Am your prey in the love arena...
I escort this frugal lover.
His achillean personality enchants every man,
I am the residue of my manhood...
Close the cishet doors,
Let the cue tip-off,
You will be my man besides the world.
Two kings for a kingdom....

Epaminandas At Leuctra - Boeotia, July, 371 Bce
I intend to try something new,
Something revolutionary
That defies conventional tactics,
Yet is so subtle in its simplicity
As to be easily carried out
By nervous farmers
About to soil themselves
In the face of certain death.
I’ve had my moment of clarity.
Tell that pussy, Cleombrotus,
Bring on his Spartans.
Note: Epaminandas employed the military principles of mass, economy of force, and a refused right flank to defeat the Spartans....
