PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Is this how far we tumbled from our holy destiny

envisioned for us in great Vergil's epic poetry:

to crucify the innocent who lack conformity

to Rome's ethos?  Can their private opinions really be

so great a problem that our full, fiercest ferocity

must be directed through the empire's whole geography?

Bodies wirthing on crosses:  tortured---mutilated---broken:

how can this be the Roman glory of which Vergil's poems have spoken?

Starward
