we die forgotten
The Chorus -
Cunning, not the feat of arms, brought fair Ilium low,
Unmasked Achilles gambit leading him to Troy,
Drove the swift knife into Iphigenia's breast
To ply cruel Artimus for fair following winds.
But the fates cut many lives short on Ilium's shores
Hopes of glory dashed for thousands who fought and died
Their shadows haunting Hades’ dark, lifeless halls:
Noble Hector no match for enraged Achilles,
Nor the son of Peleus, Paris' swift arrows.
Who won the laurel of Achille's golden armor
And was named Greatest of the Greeks if not Ajax?
But he who knew no honor save ruthless cunning,
Wily Odysseus, gained both, and the better man,
Mighty Ajax, fell upon his sword in sorrow,
His soul traveling the lonely roads to Hades’ keep.
But the gods' wroth did not end at the sack of Troy,
Agamemnon would rue his daughter's sacrifice
When his wife and her lover knifed him in his bath.
But he who deceived Troy with the horse filled with Greeks
Would spend ten long years failing to return to home....
...
Danger dogged our poor ship at every turning,
And after each our numbers shrank, first the cyclops
Then facing the ravenous six-headed Scylla,
And when we foolishly raided Helios's cattle.
But Circe's isle led to all the hell that followed....

Trump is always up to no good, lol. He wishes he could be a King. I knew nothing of this visit. I'm sure his first question was, " Where is the nearest golf course?" Haha. I'm positive there is more to this story than I know.
What good words you share, at least he stood beside King Charles and not a few steps ahead. I saw a few pictures of when he and Queen Elizabeth and he seemed to be ahead of her or was that the way it was supposed to be.
Oh wow, I don't even know what to think of this 😳😳
Since I am a political activist and a liberal California lady. If I ever met rumpty dumpty I would accidentally throw up on him and that wife in the yellow dress. I would make sure I ate yellow dye to match her dress and to accidentally throw up again on his shirt sleeve hanging out on his right arm. He is a demon
I will keep my mouth shut about this.
