Wong + + + + + + +PRAETOR?S LUNCH + +By DOM + +The ancient magistrate is having lunch at noon and these are +our attempts at capturing his thoughts in the midst of dining. +Thoughts are expressed in both verse and prose form. +Take this morsel by morsel. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +FIRST MORSEL +We wish an end to war with promises and hopes of peace. We wish for peace ,we +prepare for war. We threaten peace of others with war. We rouse ourselves with the +cry to arms. In peace or war we are restless. In peace we amuse ourselves by sparring +and wargames .In war we sing our lamentations of peace. +What are we ? A warlike race intent on keeping an empire with abundance .At the +same time advance in all directions with our might. +The horns of bulls are never far from another warring bull?s tips. When reins are +loosened, gates thrown wide ,beasts lunge forth and lock horns again. +Mars. Venus. Ares. Aphrodite. Their temples are extremes. We invoke their benison at +various stages of life. +Nature. Choice. Reason. They hatch outcome. We?re capable of breathing life force +and personify the two exorbitant passions. There is another passion but its sedateness +hardly qualifies it for that intense term. It is more an affliction. We are within range +of it too. This frigid indifference. + + +SECOND MORSEL +All will have their day. The thwarted, triumphant. The Gods ,their final say. All will +be, whatever they may be. What soothsayers are privy to ,what the oracle withholds. +The gods intervene, they alter destinies. It all rests on the will of the Being who wields +the armoury of Nature and reins of the universe. +Miltiades and Alexander crushed the might of armed Persian pride. Marathon and +Salamis undid Darius and Xerxes. +Patroclus wasn?t meant to sack Troy. Struck by Apollo, slain by Hector. +Menelaus could have slain Paris but his sword broke. Paris though defeated was +spared by Aphrodite who returned him to Trojan lines. +Pandarus? arrow injured Agamemnon . That one arrow aggravated the wounds of +Greeks. Troy was meant to fall . +Poseidon shielded Aeneas from the furious sword of Achilles. Rome was meant to be. + + +THIRD MORSEL +View of evening and morning are crowning achievements of nature?s light and +shadow play. The rest of the day is a hiatus between splendour. We need to live +through and endure the rest of it like life. Between glory and triumph, there are those +simple times which we seldom note or cherish. Times of neither sadness or gladness. +Existential. Not piquant vividness of acute alertness. + + + + + + + + + + + +FOURTH MORSEL +To bear the fruits of victory and to have the muscle of vanquished people, the state +has to continually nurture a nation of courageous loyal citizens. Conquest has to be +maintained, watched by ever vigilant sentries and keepers. The state neither needs +nor reveres idlers whose business is to indulge themselves in Bacchanalian excesses +on account of their ancestry to heroes of preceding generations. + +Lawmakers duel with wit, logic and words while the war machine duels with tools +of the army .Laws made or repealed as fearless scions fight for aspirations of a +greater state. +To safeguard the abundance of far flung regions brought for the enjoyment of the +homeland. Have the names of conquerors venerated by the conquered people. +Have kings, queens and chieftains of unknown lands pay tribute to the imperial +standard. + + +FIFTH MORSEL +Two friends. They talk of things past, of bets against each other. They laud things, +condemn a few and lampoon absurdities. +They try things out , chalk up mutual experiences .Argue in good humour. +They are both the core of their world. All else backdrops. There are friendships +which rival or surpass the closeness of blood relations. +Other lives about them are ambience to their drama of life. All that the world holds +enrich their learning. They have their own company to increase their happiness. +They help themselves and with relish exhaust the time granted. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +SIXTH MORSEL +Morning recedes. +Noon emerges. + +Up on the bridge ,the cobbled passage below, the sun nigh. Breeze blows mildly. +Dries noon swelter dry. A column on the march .At the outskirts of the garrison town, +clatter of horses, armed men of war and metal are accustomed sounds , +familiar sights. +Javelins high , tips glinting. Clear without scarlet stains of battle or rust of war. +Chins up. Feet in perfect stride. Sturdy steps in unison. +Bouncing blades , sheathed in their scabbards. Jangling armour as leather soles +stamp the stone tiled road. +Neighing mounts , tasselled reins, governed by their masters, they gallop obediently. +Shields glint. Their helmets of war inject ferocity to their visages. + +Meridian peaks. +Morn recedes. + +The proud standard borne by its bearer. Beast?s paws knotted at his chest. +Beast?s maw agape from the top of his helmet till rear curvature of his neck. +Fangs in line with temples. His cohorts , the horn blowers ride nearby. +The visibility and density of dyed tufts discern common soldier from centurion, +centurion from officer. +Red cloaks clasped and drape imperiously over backs of the empire?s officials. +Saddled snugly atop their mounts, towards destination ,advance. +To the horizon ,another outpost awaits them. Keeping their presence seen and +felt. Mere manoeuvres .Necessary routine. +Town square forums and resthouses. Aqueducts and baths of villas. They must forego +these comforts. They are duty bound for now. + +Daylight recedes. +Evening emerges. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +SEVENTH MORSEL + +Prosperity has many friends and many envious schemers who duck at blind corners . +Comrades and kin trumpet deeds . Generosity towards common masses too gains +favour .We?ll know it when the market place speak of none but the doer . +To detractors, motives are questioned unflaggingly . +Any hint of misdemeanour or misstep , the forum echoes with it with the zeal equalled +only by the homecoming of a victor crowned with honours except it?s ill distinction +and not exalted honour. +Whisperings at public baths , hastened steps towards or away from the object of their +speculation . +Some will speak well of them. Some will be too distant to know them well enough to +dislike or to be fond of with conviction sprung from familiarity. Prosperity puts a +person on different plain yet this dagger is just as sharp on both sides for the one is +also vulnerable to the critical eye of scrutiny. +Doubts, beliefs , suspicions and truths addled with syllables which make a name. +Common populace , will they choose to know the truth and live with the measure of +a human being or swallow myth and live with the flight of legend ? +That shall be determined by conduct , attainments , favourable circumstances and an +orator?s persuasive logic. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +EIGHTH MORSEL + +Fear their leaders more than their faceless enemies . Guard the standard as if it were +one?s life .A source of pride to be defended. In all manner of weather or even in +peace +the play of battle fills the gap of idleness. +Hardened muscles are not to grow soft and feeble. + +Barbaric tribes of east and west. Threats to outer reaches of reign. There our +garrisons cannot rest their tools . Craggy mountains and treacherous forests are +home to nomadic tribes which live to hunt and plunder , wild like their wilderness +dwellings. +They have neither patience nor skill to cultivate the land. They are not of that ilk. + +Cities and orderliness are strange to them. They are curiosities amongst us .We are +game in their company. +They see our numbers and strength .They do not venture forth . An uneasy peace +simply broken by the party which is the first to charge , cry out and first to snatch +their arms out of their housing . + + + +NINTH MORSEL + +?Quot homines tot sententiae.? +So many people so many opinions. The voice of the leader slices across the +indiscernible chatter. All persuading , nobly commanding . A clear voice brings with +it a defined course. The rest obey , they lack the chief?s possessions. +?Qualis Rex talis grex?. Such is the leader , such is the people. +One?s virtues are taken note of .The most ardent admirers mold themselves to that +manner. What their leaders do and and do not. Whatever those venerated say or +withhold. There are imitators , emulators , travesty smiths. +Once in a while , one or a small band of them rise to remold status quo. A wave is +hatched and unleashed .It becomes an acceptable convention. +It is the manner of people that which is proven will be used till the spring is parched +or when something superior is offered and that offering tickles their longing. +Far easier to remain constant than alter a course. Given the disposition toward ease , +the well trodden tempts .Yet heed well that it is the passage of tribulation where the +coronet of glory and honour rests on the head of those who are uncowed .They shall +find that fame latches like their own skin to their name . + + + + + + + + + + + + TENTH MORSEL + +We who hold the torch +We must be patient +Decorum requires it +The pride of a legion +lives within its standard +one standard bearer bears +sacrament of cohorts + + +We who hold the torch +We must be patient +Decorum requires it +One official?s carriage +personifies the rest +one written inscription +ultimate seal of fate + + +We who hold the torch +We must be patient +Decorum requires it +Make way for those better +while we wait with patience +allow them the better seats +their merit exceed ours + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ELEVENTH MORSEL + +I am not one to dispute the will of God , +divine will becomes our lot , +but I question the logic of some . +Foolish is the soul who enters the place , +who announces his innermost desires , +swears a gift in return , +should they be fulfilled , +by divine consent , +upon his earthly cares , +mortal souls have none to offer better , +than the rewards of paradise , +what are our trappings to heaven , +when it is God who grants ? +It is not worship or invocation , +it is a wager posed by hubris , +displace pomposity and affectation , +come in a penitent pose , +humility warrants attention , +or else snuff the lamp , +take the oil elsewhere . + + +I am not one to dispute the will of God , +divine will becomes our lot , +but I question the right of tyrants . +Charred cities after their sacking , +the cries of dependent humanity , +sent to feed searing flames , +the weak , meek and lame , +no daylight dawns again , +a winding trail of chains and clubs , +the gathered wounded ; conquered , +these tyrants do not govern , +they seize and consume their fill , +then hunger rumbles again , +they repeat their atrocities , +till the Fates pluck them . +For each tyrant reaped , +by droves victims precede them , +their number exceed sacrificial offerings , +made to appease wrathful spirits , +or custom of ceremony , +of a deity worshipped . + + + + +TWELFTH MORSEL + +Our moments of glory +a lifetime to remember +fair token of youth?s vigour + +Carve now before the die sets +while still new and pliable +when it dries your mark stays +hardened and nobly set +surpassing life of wilted crowns +a monument in your honour + +Our moments of glory +a lifetime to remember +come pay heed to youth?s prayer + +We won?t be here to bother +having surpassed such worries +earthborn to earth it goes +like Assyrian ruins +to those with merits deserving +God and kind Fortune preserve them + +Our moments of glory +a lifetime to remember +mementos of youth?s flower + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +THIRTEENTH MORSEL + +A peasant who wishes for more +changes his plough for arms +The army has loyal farmers +with absent fathers away far + +Children of empire?s troops +though honoured their father?s name +they hardly know the man well +though his name they proudly bear + +Years abroad have rendered fathers +estranged from families and friends +yet love and regard still remain +after gaps of years and distance + +A peasant who wishes for more +changes his plough for arms +fertile fields left idle +while we take grain from conquered lands + +For children whom fathers left +when they were too young to recall +esteem comes to their hearts prior +before the warmth of filial love + +At long last parted faces meet again +strange and familiar strange yet familiar +they rekindle ties and retell tidings +memories and previous habits return + +Fertile fields left idle +while we take grain from conquered lands +the army has its own farmers +with absent fathers battling far + +Families once again reunited +when warriors in togas turn civilians +their children venture and nestle gladly + + + + + + + + + + + + +FOURTEENTH MORSEL + +?De mortuis nil nisi bonum?

If the value +per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 +million dollars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50 new eBook +files per month, or 500 more eBooks in 2000 for a total of 4000+ +If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total +should reach over 300 billion eBooks given away by year's end. + +The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion eBook +Files by December 31, 2001.
