Gladiator



The silver, the tan

The steel, the sand

The sphere

That glows from

Orange to yellow to orange to red

Back again

The fight

The light

From fiery bolts that pierce the sky

Rob the life

From those that were never ready to

Die

Steel on steel

Horse on hound

Warriors screaming as they hit the ground

Blades unsheath

Strike

Parry

Thrust

They don't stop

The blood

The pain

The flames that wane

Back again

Orange to yellow to orange to red

Avert your eyes soldier

Your brothers are already

Dead























(Author's Note: For those that didn't see it: the sphere is the sun throughout the day and the fiery bolts are arrows tipped with fire. Hey, my English class didn't get that so I didn't know how many people would.)
