Gladiator

A Poem by Pete

Who Were the Roman Gladiators?

I'm life's Christian gladiator.
With an overheated radiator.
It's all fun and games.
'Til someone loses an eye.
It's out of my hands.
That's why I don't bother asking why.
The Romans didn't allow eye gouging.
Neither should I ...

Author's Note

"What a battle a man must fight everywhere to maintain his standing army of thoughts, and march with them in orderly array through the always hostile country! How many enemies there are to sane thinking! Every soldier has succumbed to them before he enlists for those other battles." - Thoreau
