Description
In the land of Tenochtitlan, proud and grand, Stood the Aztec King, his rule spanned the land. Montezuma, wise and revered by all, His people's devotion, his kingdom's thrall.
But fate had set a course, a cruel design, As whispers of invaders reached his shrine. CortΓ©s and his Spaniards, with greed and might, Sought the Aztec riches, their hearts alight.
Upon the horizon, strange ships appeared, A harbinger of doom, Montezuma feared. With trepidation, he met the unknown, A tragic dance of cultures overthrown.
Intrigued by the newcomers' foreign ways, He offered them a welcome, his heart ablaze. But beneath their smiles, a darkness did hide, Their lust for gold, their hunger to divide.
Unaware of the deceit, Montezuma, Welcomed CortΓ©s, the harbinger of trauma. His city's beauty, riches beyond compare, Became the target of ruthless men's snare.
With false friendship, they infiltrated walls, Enslaving Aztec hearts, as destiny calls. Betrayed by those he thought he could trust, The Aztec King's fate crumbled to dust.
Within his palace walls, a prisoner bound, The once mighty ruler, grief did surround. His people rose in arms, a desperate fight, To defend their home, to protect their right.
But the foreign invaders, armed and strong, Prevailed against the Aztec throng. The fall of Tenochtitlan, a sorrowful sight, The empire crumbled in that fateful night.
As dawn broke, the Aztec kingdom laid low, Montezuma's reign, a bittersweet glow. In chains, he wept for his people's plight, A once great king, now swallowed by the night.
The fall of the Aztec king, a tragic tale, Of conquest, greed, and cultures set to fail. Yet, amidst the ruins, their spirit lives on, In hearts and stories, through ages forgone.
