Olives

Historically this history is my Thucydides,

And when I need that leadership, where is my Pericles.

Philosophies are just to please all my Aristocles,

And when I need a lover, where are my Persephones.

A thousand hordes with blazing swords descend to vanquish me,

I sit and pray that this today's not my Thermopylae.

The gateways hot, they say that's not the way it's meant to be,

So Ill just float here in my boat in my Aeagean Sea
