The Gracchi are Dead

The bottle is soft

To touch

Caressing my sorrow

 

Crows scream

A usual tune

Prudent, but useless

 

I have to run

Into Rome

Where eagles fly

 

Caesar across the Tiber

Cicero in *******

Pompey unfound

 

Liberty is dead

The restless have arisen

Dread seeming to bribe destiny

 

Sword and stone

Catapult and Trieme

Feelings are fleeting

 

Houses catch the flame

Blades seer flesh

A list has been made

 

The weak are dead

Strong circumcised

Demons feed
