Damocles
I understand many dont get the allusion to the sword of Damocles. Is this a poem worth while if it doesn't relate to the majority of people? Also im new to this and would appreciate any criticism.
{Damocles}
Tyranny below a Blade
Captures the Heart
Fortunes, grasped
Breath, Adrift
Held by a strain of a hair,
Will of man is but thin
Hold the Pommel ahead
As fear holds you
None may follow
For it has been long over due
The Sword of Damocles Held True
