and there is a reason why St. Paul
traveled to Athens
for his beheading -

   and there is a reason why St. Peter
travelled to Rome
for his Golgotha
     profanity - upside down...

evidently, the former,
   not being among the original
disciples becoming apostles -

       but i made a mistake -
i forgot that the aeneid -
by the great gatekeeper of
the transition from paganism
to christianity: Virgil...

how the once mighty Greeks,
humbled,
     by a civilized barbarism
of spaghetti eaters
and pizza flippers -

   it wasn't the Greeks who
conjured the Romans
seeking their mythology
  (the sensible time span
among the everyday
         tabloid press and
that modern 24 / 7 insomnia
journalism) -

   where? in Troy...
            then no wonder why
there is so little talk of what was to come...
plenty of revivalism of ancient
Greece...
                  but of Byzantine?

one honourable mention,
Constantine...
       but the entirety of the Byzantine
culture?
              one recognizable
building, in Istanbul -
                    which is now a mosque -
and dare i say?
         much prettier
than that thing in Mecca -
which is being desecrated
by surrounding hotels -
Wahabi
          Haj Tourism... ****!

              the new testament had to
be a propaganda text
to strengthen the Aegean plight
against the Romans...

        evidently the Greeks were
the people who collaborated
with the Judeans to undermine
Roman authority...
        
but they had some help, mind you...
Hannibal, Attila,
the rebellious Germanic citizens
of a failed integration mechanisms...
just like with the Poles
in current England...

   oh forget about the Polish RAF
fighters...
           you like curry...
                          next time you ask...
shove a hopscotch chilli up
your, ******* ****!
