Patriotic to his Country
Loyalty to his Empire
Heroic in his Battles
Gallant in his Warfare
Eloquent in his Speech
Astute as a Politician
What more quality
Can a man be endowed with
An epitome of character
A pinnacle of Manhood
No mother had a better son
Envied by the Sun and the Moon
When the heart interferes
Wrong way the ship steers
Logic looses its fears
Eyes cry shedding tears
For the woman who in the heart endures
With beauty ensures
Away from everything she's lured
The power of love
Can launch a 1000 ships
Can sink them too
Born with qualities
Others would die for
Loosing all of them
To die for lust
Heart wanting what it always wanted
Everything steps aside
Knowing it is fighting a loosing battle
Aware that he too will loose the battle
Carved by poets and play wrights   gaining immortality
Even Shakespeare inscribed
The respect he gave
Genre not clear
Is it what to be
What not to be
Whatever you are to be
Whatever you are you need not be
Two lives you can lead
One an example of Glory
Another for ignominy
A lesson in Love
Where sacrifice is worth even loosing immortality
Or is it the love for which all the glory was left behind
Left time behind too
Too last many a lifetime
Perspective of the life
Of Marc Anthony
Can teach one very simply
The truth about life
Living it Living it Dying for it
