Herodotus once said that

Our ancestors, the Tracs

Might have become all-powerful

If each did not against the other fight.

 

But for them, there was never

a desire for unity.

Gods in vain have told them to relent.

They have fought, and fight again.

 

We, descendants of their blood,

Have walked their roads for centuries.

But never, and nowhere

Have we found the healing flowers.

 

To argue is our way

as their cursed schemes remain.

We are wedded to the conflicts

That Herodotus knew well.
