Nero was an Emperor A very unkind one He wanted everything as he planed He decided to burn down a city Which people really loved Nero burnt down the city and got the blame Was Nero going to be blamed forever? NO! He then accused the Christians The innocent Christians did nothing wrong But still got the blame So Nero persuaded the people and them it was the Christians Who caused the fire But it wasn’t true And then came the persecution of the Christians.
