The war is the game of gods...

***
The war is the game of gods
The eternal fire of life…
In the war we beat them; they beat us –
I don’t know if I’ll be home with wife…
Brain and courage are my weapons in fight,
And my faith in Apollo is shields.
In the war there’s never time for fright,
And I’ll always defend home fields.
I am hope of my father and son,
The defender of young stupid brother –
Menelaus brought all his Greek clan,
And I’d give him back Helen
Than rather
Fight the war where blood flows in rivers,
When the nature’s disgusted by flash,
When the human warfare now pleases
All the gods, drunk with blood like with strong wine splash.
…Odysseus, Patroclus, Achilles –
Friends in Heavens for soldiers of Troy –
Now my enemies – dreadful convoy
On my way to the kingdom of Hades…

Don’t know if remembers my voice
Wall of Troy after death of her faithful defender
But no man should forget on what choice
Made the man protecting his land from offender…
