The Fall of Kang

"The Fall of Kang" was an epic poem written by the Klingon poet G'trok.

A quote from the poem read:
 * "So honor the valiant who die 'neath your sword...
 * But pity the warrior who slays all his foes."

"The Fall of Kang" was a required reading at Starfleet Academy. Noted Federation scientist Gideon Seyetik was quite fond of this poem, noting that despite being a little obvious, the underlying message was true nonetheless.

In 2370, during his self-proclaimed "crowning achievement," moments before igniting Epsilon 119 via shuttlepod-suicide, Seyetik quoted "The Fall of Kang", stating "You're looking at one warrior who refuses to be pitied."
