Colosseum

Enchanted arrows of love
and big feasts made by slave dove.
Famous Rome.
Your vineyards whisper at night.
Speak bookshelves what your books write
— of smoke storm, of old smoke storm.

Nero and Caligula.
But dust covers the aula.
Famous Rome.
Ceasar, war, soldier, man-grime,
they all were dissolved by time
and smoke storm.

Famous Rome.
Show us the famous Rome.
It was all
but treason colossal.
Pride leads to fall.

Dust is the price of your fame
for fame and dust are the same.
Famous Rome.
So read your nomen—omen.
Time is a clever stoic man.
Famous Rome.

Colosseum.
Pride leads to fall.
At that point time has stopped.
At that point time has stopped.
Famous stone is alone.

Colosseum.
Your fame caused fall.
At that point time has stopped.
At that point time has stopped.
The stone’s alone, always alone.

Dust is the price of your fame
for fame and dust are the same.
Famous Rome.
So read your nomen—omen.
Time is a clever stoic man.
Famous Rome.

Colosseum.
Pride leads to fall.
At that point time has stopped.
At that point time has stopped.
Famous stone is alone.

Colosseum.
Your fame caused fall.
At that point time has stopped.
At that point time has stopped.
The stone’s alone, always alone.
