End a poem with the line:
'When does a man become a monster?'
Odysseus
I am just a man so
I had to throw a baby of a tower
I had to sacrifice my crew to the gods
I had to sleep with goddess
When it wasn’t my choice
I had to do everything in pain
To get back home to my son and wife
I am just a man
I am a warrior of the mind
Or Thats what they say
Cause I helped in the war
I am just a man
I will sacrifice my crew
To get home
Kill all the way
It’s going to be dangerous
But I haft to get home
So I am going to put
Everything on the line
I am not ok
I saw people died
I started with 600 men
And when they were turned into pigs
I did something I am not proud of
Just to turn them back
But when I got home
My crew was gone
I killed them
I am just a man but
When does a man
Throw a baby off a tower
And feel no shame
When will I not be haunted by mistakes
Of everyone I met they did something
But they feel they were right
When does a knife to an eye
Feels right
When does killing innocents
Feel amazing
When does killing a god
Feel fine
When does greeting the world
With open arms
Lead to trouble
When does a man embrace ruthlessness
When does a man become a monster
. . .
