Fall of One

Fall of Rome

The earth awoke

to the sounds so

familiar, a peace

only morning can bring.

No peace only silence

fell upon the earth this day,

Fires still raging

mothers still cried.

Wind sweeping up the 

dust and ash.

The sun could not be seen.

How could it come to this?

This day passed into history

history turned it into legend. 

The day a civilization fell.

Into fire and shadow. 

Goodbye Rome
