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 poem was 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." ()
