[...MYRMIDONS are warriors, participated in Trojan war, they will execute any order without any questions, followers of Achilles..]
what's the color of his ebbing blood,
the eyes of a Martinet, peril by flood,
the soil in Troy, a benediction from mother,
A myrmidon's war cry, devoid of black dither.
The mind so agog, death is the prize,
no contemplation, no fear will thrive,
Turtle's carapace and a shielding ivory sword,
the mistress left behind, expecting no reward.
abeyance from the land, for the people,
misery soils the linen, as the toll triples,
days and nights, slips into a quagmire,
drinking spirits, walking on the holy fire!
and the victor will return, burnt and killed,
arrow in the chest, caressed by sea winds,
in the times like these, what's germane?
orator's word or a martyr's sandy trail !
