Theos-World Re: The Will of Alexander

Dear friends,

Sometime ago I started writing an article about Great Alexander 
still I did not finish it, but I am sending a poem . Please forgive 
me for my poor English may not allow me to express it in a better 
way.

The Will of Alexander

When the swallows return
To their nests in Egypt
And the leaves fall for earth to embrace
And frozen rivers never reach the sea of the forgotten

Carry, To the temple of Osiris, my soul
My voice, to Delphos of Apollon, I sacrifice
My eyes East to meet
My foot, Hades, to touch 
My hands in Alexandria to be spread 
My neck, from the Mediterranean, to drink 
So in the homeland I will stand
And my terrible yesterday I will forgive
 
Immortal mother of pain why you hide from me;
My father loss why u did not believe?
How could you lock the truth within your heart?
Unfairly, to the ends of the world, I searched to find it….

Immortal mother of life, why you do not let me to live? 
So the clouds I could see, and thirsty to be…
And one day two meters from the tree that I so much loved 
Forever there my grave to be

To the temple of Osiris carry my soul
My voice, to Delphos of Apollon, I sacrifice
My eyes the East to meet
My foot, Hades, to touch 
My hands in Alexandria to be spread 
My neck, from the Mediterranean, to drink 
So in the homeland I will stand
And my terrible yesterday I will forgive
