Don't wish for it, work for it


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.
