DAY 14, POEM 14: THE SECRETS OF GREEK FIRE HAVE BEEN LOST TO TIME

The iron bull relied on its reputation
amid fantastic rumors of pain and suffering

All myths were bigger than they are now
but there was nothing to measure them against

Invaders stormed sleeping villages
leaving survivors to relate the events

The story's end has not yet been written
and who will remain to read it?
