Agamemnon

Agamemnon cruel and heartless leader that he was

Was tied up and stabbed with an axe by his wife Clytemnestra.

One might take from this it is better to sacrifice a

A hundred legion army

Then to offend a single woman’s dignity.

The battle field is a vast place and an endless horizon

Where one might disappear and live

Home to a narrow corridor

Where only a man of slim stature can slightly pass by
