History: BIG events and BIG people

mmmmmm.... This is my first time holding a contest, so please be patient

I'm into history, so I thought it would be ideal to do a contest on History and knowing the brillaint talent out there there are going to be some amazing poems

Option 1: A historical event----that is known around the world, something that everyone knows e.g. Titanic or the slave trade

Option 2: A dead famous person----who is known around the world, someone that everyone knows e.g. Elvis Presley or Ghandi

Rules: 1. no swearing
2. nothing erotica
3. no very sad, suicidal poems (history isn't that bad I hope!)
4. have fun
5. please follow the options,I really don't want to DQ anyone
