Revenge

by Michael Wang

Inspired by “Alexander Mosaic” by Philoxenus of Eretia

As the golden army tears apart the Persians

King Alexander joins the fight with no hesitation

To fulfill the dream of his fathers

He shreds the enemy apart like no other

The fight sets at the Pinarus River

The marching army made the Persians shiver

The battle earned on for many days and nights

Many were slaughtered

But at the South of the old town Issus

The first loss was handed to Darius

As the undefeated was defeated

There is a new king in town

With Alexander the Great gaining his crown

Other nations began to bow down
