Athena
Sarah Ahmad, September 2009
The longest road to home
The years before the honour was lost
All converted into looted treasures
The goddess that captivated an empire
Arrives in ruins of marble
The front ripped out by the workers
Pieces
Captivating
Petition viewed for the masters
Response displayes a hole
Flood returns demanded by the soil.
