Cuchulainn
The champion warrior
of Irish mythology
The Irish Achilles
A larger than life
fighter & warrior
Bouts of temper
I’ve seen face
to face
He often causes
himself and others
such grief
Anger makes
him slay men
He had a
warrior son
but Cuchulainn
and said son
refused to
identify themselves
and a tragic fight
ensued between two
where the son dies
from shared
defiance
and ignorance
Mortally wounded
in final battle
Cuchulainn died
on his feet
where a
crow landed
atop his
shoulder to
signify death
Memorials exist
of his
fight for
Irish Independence
in bronze
remembrance
He was the hound
of Culann
Are you this?
I believe you
are that
But you
are French,
please correct me
His real name
was Setanta
Have I blended
you into him?
Sort of…
You’re my
Achilles heel
a true weakness
of sorts
They’ll write
our prophecy
one future day
Maybe I am
mistaken but
your eyes are his
Yes you are he
100% a fierce man
Oh Cuchulainn…
Are you myth?
