Poem: The Fall

Some bright words to ring in the New Year... : )

Is this the fall of Rome?
So to speak…
Or do we dare compare
The short sweet journey
Of a few centuries
To those of the mighty kingdom?

Will this truly be the downfall
Of the last Tarquinian King?
The final fall…Rome forsaken
Rant with decadence and decay
Empty currency – military gone astray?

Corruption…inflation…deflation…
A bankrupt government…
Denial…
Sound familiar…

Perhaps fall is too final…
Rome still exists after all…
Perhaps adapted is better…
Are you ready to adapt
When the fall is our own?
