POEM STARTER

Submitted by Esperanza

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

. . .

Who here has heard of Epic?
