THE GLADIATOR

Folder: 
JOURNAL#30

in cages of great victory

seasoned swordsmen

promote

their fast fading glory

as they court the masses for the thumb

the outcome

such extreme raw into the inhumane plunge

a brutal life taking dance

vicious are the achievers

through the snap of bone

the great crunch of muscled flesh

to the terrible twist of tensed tendons

leaves the crowds riveted

their frenzy and energy

only further aid

the carnal endeavors of the games

further promoting the forceful spillage of

yet more human blood

in the open ring

with the sun shining upon their panting backs

with great gulps of air

the Gladiator finishes off the

day's kill..............
