Tales Of Ancient Greece : Too Late
Lathra beat his drum zealously,
As he entered a nameless town,
Hidden deep in the forest,
"Come one,
Come all,
And rejoice with me oh countrymen!"
He boisterously said,
As the people curiously approached,
Then one of them asked,
"What are we celebrating stranger?'
Lathra looked to the heavens and grinned,
"Your salvation,
Zeus is calling you to worship,
Will you not hear the call?"

Their faces suddenly turned somber,
Eyes blazing with hate,
As someone spoke up,
"Salvation is for the living",
Lathra's body tensed with fear,
Sweat forming on his brow,
As he looked for a way to leave the strange town,
But was surrounded,
"What causes you all to remain here,
Why aren't you in the Elysian Fields?"
He nervously asked,
Then a particularly angry man stepped forward,
And while tight lipped grumbled,
"Hell was full,
But welcome though,
We do love newcomers",
Lathra dropped to his knees,
His mouth open in shock,
That not only was he dead,
But realized that he never made it to the temple of Zeus,
For expiation of his sins,
His corpse still on the stone steps.
