Bravery

Bravery

A group of three hundred all gather around,

All bunched together not making a sound.

And then seven thousand more all ready to die,

All ready to fight at Thermopylae.

Together they stand,

While alone they fall.

When ranks break,

They go to the thrall.

Tomorrow will come,

Yet they die today.

Remember those who fought in the shade.

A brave man’s war,

A brave man’s fight,

To protect their land,

To protect their pride.

They lost their land,

They kept their pride.

They had their love,

Yet they lost their fight.

Seven thousand three hundred all ready to die,

All ready to fight at Thermopylae.
