Axis & Allies - damowords

Reconquest of France
CHYREN comes to lead his men in person
But better emperors veer from the field
Their tactics often met with aversion
By men of war with brighter knives to wield;
His first mistake
Unlide Pandora’s box
Soon forces fade & flake, his fleets fast on the rocks!
Hektor march’d with his two strong boys
In the Clydebank company
Halting the Africans at Troyes
& the Persians at Paris,
Far‐spread the rumour of his noise –
Pure piper’s melody –
A talent pass’d down his long, proud bloodline
Its whining pibroch tingling down the spine
As CHYREN fled to Italy
He rampaged ville‐on‐ville,
Yet Tyranny breeds Liberty,
The jaquerie bare steel
Against their Asian masters with a messianic zeal
Provence
Reconquest of Spain
Russia recieves the third reconquista
Charg’d with unravelling the serpent’s tail
As Spain had been promis’d Selin’s sister
A million or more shall guard its soil;
But scatter’d wide
& piecemeal clapt in chains,
Snaking sierraside in long, sun‐taunted trains.
“Tell me how can ye die better
Than when facing fearful odds
For the ashes of your father
& the temples of your gods
Dying with your kin together
United anthropods
For every heart in synch bulwarks the cause
To stand as one despite the debt of wars!”
As Morrocans finish’d their song
Libyans start another
Thirty lines long, the thirsty throng
Tongue‐join’d with each brother,
For soldiers share a spirit‐bond, whomever the mother.
