A short, cynical poem about war. The central theme is the Iliad. One of the best works created for a class that I failed. Draw your own conclusions from that.

Off To Troy
.
The wind blows through billowing sails
On a crisp autumn day
We begin on this great passage
Before us Troy doth lay
.
To war we sail with angry hearts
We work both day and night
Toward the finish, our toil: constant
So we can reach the fight
.
Our arrival, though strong and fierce
Will still be met with grief
Because of those who won't return
Death is a cunning thief
.
We sail on, both valiant and bold
Heroes of many stories told
.
A thousand ships for one girl's face
Ten thousand men die in disgrace
.
.
.
Is it worth it?
