Author: Note - I wrote this poem about Themistocles, an Athenian politico. He is by far one of the most interesting historical figures of his time despite there being slim historical references.
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. You chewed out our mother and you brought out a gun
Themistocles your a thief among thieves. You ate up our rubble and took away our fun.
When all the people cried out in joy
You took us from our homes come one come all it's off to war
Themistocles thief among thieves
All the women cried out when you took their boy. Hand in hand you delivered their new toy.
Themistocles thief among thieves
To each of them, you gave a knife a shield, and a city to save
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. You chewed out our mother and you brought out a gun
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. You ate up our rubble and took away our fun.
Themistocles you thief among thieves
With all these years past what did we get...
The loss of our children wives with no men a village left to plunder and daughters subject to your sin
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. Out you went , Athens no longer left in the grip
Our blood no longer flows our gold no longer yours to sip
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. We leave you to the Persian army to become a king among men
One wife too many Themistocles you fool
Your day has come he is not a man to rule
While the king was away you were there to play
Tryst is the setting you have to beget
Your children are the price you must pay or save for all the pain you gave
Poison is a fools fate with the eyes of none but your enemies to cherish your hate
No longer a hero
no higher than a zero.
How far you had fallen. Timeless you will be balling. You have made your bed a man left for dead
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. You chewed out our mother and you brought out a gun
Themistocles you're a thief among thieves. You ate up our rubble and took away our fun.
Themistocles your a thief among thieves
