#2 of Decaliyric: Fox

The first poem of my short collection of poems called Decalyric: Fox that was first posted on my FA page.

From a history, not so long ago,  
From a world, not so far below,  
That brought with it a simple meal,  
To bring the hungry people zeal.

A nation's heritage from the east,  
The one that was remembered as a beast,  
That spread terror with a saber,  
To the Balkan world, a neighbor.

Its rule past still existent,  
With its culture still persistent,  
Remembered by a simple dish,  
That swam to us like a fish.

Now eaten by all - old and youth,  
To feed the hungry, grease a tooth,  
To help its neighbor in trouble,  
And to leave a shine on one's stubble.

Meat, cabbage, potato, cheese,  
Just a few with which one can please,  
A hungry stomach that desires,  
And for a traditional dish, it aspires.
