What Still Stands
What Still Stands A Trilogy Spoken by the People Invocation Let this be read without allegiance to power and without fear of truth. Let the words remember what systems forget and speak for what was never meant to be erased.

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....
