Conqueror's grave here is interred
Where hatred and history blurred
The Marigolds his sole witness
Grace the remembrance of greatness
Which now the pacifist conquered
***
For glory he offered the herd
Graced his lips with only one word
Yet his golden dream, more or less
Here is interred
***
He tried and tried, name aspired
His grave is danced over, name mired
And no gold but for his weakness
Untarnished, unrusted, weakness.
For his legend, which spite conferred
Here is interred.
