Many thanks to all who commented on this poem.
Gary,
To me it's a sort of historical archetype. I wrote it in response to
reading an excerpt from one of those wimpy Swords & Sorcery sci-fi fantasy
thingies - I think this is probably truer to what happens when Might is
Right.
Kind regards,
grasshopper

Grassy, good sonnet. Is there a name behind the man or simply well-written
fiction?
Thanks.
Gary
