Achilles And His Shield
Have you seen the red
The red shining armor
The shield by his side
The man named Achilles
In all his might
Achilles and his xiphos
Looking beautiful as Thetis
As mighty as Peleus
As strong as Vulcan
Gleaming like the sparks
The ancient Greek
Shield so lustrous
Prince of Phithia
A true king ready
Gift of invulnerability
This man big like Hercules
Called upon a god called the god of smiths
He beseeched and asked “Son of Vulcan”
Please give me a shield almighty
And bright with engravings of earth and elements
Give me a sword and shield fit for a warrior
The son of vulcan declined his wish
Then Thetis came by
Asked Vulcan for this gift
A shield fit for a mighty warrior
Gleaming in the light
Malleable as vibranium
Light as stone
Copper, Tin, silver and gold
This beholds Achilles and his shield
Achilles and his sword
Hero of the trojan war
His xiphos a weapon of destruction
Suitied for a hero
Son of a king
Born a warrior
Achilles the hero
Achilles the greek myth
Achilles and the gods
Achilles and his shield
Achilles fierce warrior of greece
His shield a symbol of prowess and peace
Adorned with scenes of war and strife
Protection in war, preserving his life
For Achilles and his shield, victory was rife.
