Analysis of Gladiator



A coliseum warrior,
his only verve,
Catapults grizzled moments,
continuing swerve.
Mighty, fearless,
Assembled and brave,
Oblivious and forthcoming,
Unafraid.
He arrives each crossroad,
Frayed, tattered and torn.
Then grasps reflections
That embrace his scorn.
Riddles and rhymes
Become his only crime,
Elucidate superfluous evaluations,
time, times time.
Search the inundated crevices
That purge the mind.
An existence sustaining
A panoramic chime.
Revitalized, enliven,
Purposely cleave
To all bewilderment
Giving way to victory.
Explore, discover,
Heroic ruins of old,
Mobilize, rationalize
Each related road.
Past, present, future,
Flow through these
Magnificent souls,
NEVER EVER. NO,
NEVER EVER,
Let, your Gladiator go.
