The New Rome

The way people vote and how they come by their decisions, always amazes me.

Gloria a nova Roma!
Glory unto the new Rome
and also to us!

The media lobotomized!

Tooting our own tarnished, brassy horns,
while dancing arrhythmically
to the beat
of propaganda's drum.

Oh it was a clever plan
to monopolize on the new religion
and capitalize upon the souls of men!

We came. We saw. We conquered

this new land;
Rising deific decadence.
But the the Huns are mustering at the gate.
The spirits of Gaul cry out for revenge...

Our fair city is BURNING!

CAESAR! CAESAR!

Play your saxophone for us...

I loved the vocabulary and unique structure of this write. Good word choices like "deific decadence" and "to the beat
of propaganda's drum". Good imagery "the Huns are mustering at the gate"

I feel somewhat educated after reading this, like it gave a little bit back to me for my efforts *laughs* I've read it a few times now, I can feel the zeal.

This is really cool--especially the historic part of it. The media lobotomized, following political propaganda--if that isn't our country today, I don't know what is. Nice work!

I'm definitely enjoying your style. Keep it up.
