Is it wrong to write a poem
Warning folks in Ancient Roem
Beware!
Those Visigoths and Vandals
It'll be a still life Scandal
when they over run your tired little
12,000 horse town
all the knowledge and the wisdom
that you've gotten, Greeks say taken stolen pillaged
(and then added to[o] your own quite special spin)
from the Greeks (and the Etruscans)
(will fade away)
Whom you Subjugated, Like the Rest of the Known World
using reinvigorated plays
from their own playbook
Yes the Greeks, they saw and noticed
the subtle similarities
between their beloved Phalanx
a Body of men made of men
moving as one
killing as one
and Your beloved Legion
a Body of men with a Mind
moving as one
each man
in turn
Killing Individually
For The Glory Of Rome!!! BELLVM ROMANVM
Well...
That's all over now
or... does it live on?????
in this pome
and in some Western Hearts? I hope so
