Gentlemen Who Fell

Strength beyond measure
and a friend to God himself
His arms flex and armies shatter

Yet, when this being of raw power
A human with inhuman strength
Laid eyes on her

He flinched
Delilah's beauty was stronger than any might he possessed
And her words easily disarmed his flexing arms

When he awoke
Hairless and chained
His body conquered by her mind

He wept
And they gouged his eyes
He slept
And they chained him higher

In history
Samson is one
of many
Gentlemen Who Fell
