Dream of their course hair
Of sloped noses sharp as their artillery
Sharper than those jagged Mediterranean cliffs
Of the beauty their ancestry built
Each night they sought the skies bliss
Sleeping among the earth
Admiring the beauty of the unknown
Creating their creators
I envy the Greeks
Their significance and intelligence
Menelaus brought us plumbing
Aristotle gave us philosophy
The Greeks give me reason
These graves give me truth
Throughout their existence
They brimmed with strength
Far beyond the relevance of youth
I envy the Greeks
And their course hair
Sharp features
Scriptured physiques
I wish to be them
The sculpted chests
The boar tearing biceps
I want to live among them
Inside their era
Facing wooden horses
And fireside songs
To hear of Paris
As he lives and breaths
And to marvel
In the life of Achilles
Yet now I stand
Feeling them softly
Fingers on aged marble
It seams Crack
As it carries throughout a mineral lifetime
I want to live among them
Be in their years
To lavish in fields
Shed olive oil tears
I'd sob in icarian seas
And worship my deities
I'd find comfort in creative religion
Surviving raw hardships
Sending Apollo my pleas
I want to live among them
For If I was one of their kind
Maybe I wouldn't feel so blind
I'd live as a man
And be revered
I wouldn't be ashamed
Living my life not feared
