A poor attempt at poetry

The Athenian Plague As the darkness fell on the land, so too did fear. So sure to win the war the Athenians had boasted, how could they have foreseen the horrors to come?

I heard a story the other day of a beach in Florida that was filled with people who didn't care about if they spread this epidemic. During the time of the Peloponnesian War, people didn't know a whole lot about
