MODERN ROMAN EMPIRE
Behold
This beautiful winter’s day
Year 2006
Nears her turbulent end
Quiet rise from the ashes
Byzantine eminence
Modern Roman Empire
Global domination
Slow and zealous climb
Transcendental mastery
Excels at warp speed
Meteoric progress
The Euro takes its cherished throne
As it is written
Hourglass of wanton demise
Political suicide
Conceited Lady Liberty
Licks her gaping wounds
Reeling from excessive greed
Self imposed totalitarianism
Black gold obsession
Ironic kiss of death
A time for humble reflection
Bended knees of recompense
Memories of glory past
Our sins
Now must be penalized
Justice
Righteousness prevails
God’s master plan revealed
