Like Rhakotis Still Standing

Lost and forgotten all in evasion,
due, in part, to the king's heart,
an overzealousness and persuasion
bore ultimately untimely invasion.

Yet through the haze and fog arose
two millennia past, all men amassed,
stretching in the harbor from repose
was the battalion of souls opposed.

Beneath stars they marched as one
to salvation or doom, and to consume
those who cursed a village they begun
as seafarers and the fishermen sons.
