Of Troy and of Sparta
Your name marks the fall
Of cities and of men
All pursued your beauty
Without an ounce of shame
Husband and child were left behind
When Troy became your home
Abduction or elopement
The legends all disagree
Wars waged and battles fought
To save the Spartan Queen
Choice, you had none of
As men fought for your fate
Whilst gods gave you away
In judgements made by men.
Thank you for reading.
