But now post-truth we wander far from Troy

War and cities grew up hand in hand
This is a fact that pacifists  all know.
Each city wanted others’ wealth and land

Excuses   cited ,open doors were slammed.
To steal another’s goods made cities grow
War and cities grew up hand in hand

Criminal in truth were their  commands
Strong and vicious acts were  never slow
Each city wanted others’ wealth and land

Too, beauty in a woman  made demands
The suitors gathered with her husband ‘s foes
War and cities grew up hand in hand

And science    gained  opponents’ libraries crammed.
This is how we stole what we now know
Each city wanted women,wealth and land

In modern  times we made some rules  for war
But now post-truth we wander  around  Troy
Warhorses  and weapons  new,  undammed
As cities  tried to steal  the other’s  wealth and land
