We Are But Romans

 We are but Romans in a different time with mechanical horses and conceptualized Colosseums! We wage wars with intents of gaining power and wealth. Our swords spit fire and our ships breathe smoke, or iron is greater with Minotaur strength and our catapults  can launch over the entire globe!

 The men and women feed on agony! Blood is the fuel of man, but not our own, War is constant, brutal, unending, and unchanging! Our Caesar has gone from all-powerful to all-seeing too. Senators still argue and governors still fall.

 We are but Romans with Javelins of fire in the palm of our hands! We still crucify for the beliefs of another and we still whip them for their silence! Falsely crucify we commonly do, yes, but rightfully murder the murderer? No.

 We don't imprison our Legionnaires for murder nor for theft; nor do we for forgery and assault. With our conceptual Colosseums we watch the innocents bleed and suffer! We thrive with ideological worth and wealth that simply divides the race of Man by concept rather than skill or properties! The only separation we should have is separation by skill so that we can all help each other out rather than classify individuals by the amount of currency their belongings are bought with.

 Social class should not be top to bottom like the great pyramids, but left to right and coming back together like Stonehenge! We should be in support of each other, side by side, and standing tall together!

 Our blood should be our own and we have not learned that: since Jesus, enough blood has been spilled! Lay down your hammer and nails, spears and stones! Romans, won't you stand down? The Roman Empire fell long ago so why are we still living under the Caesar? Why have we become so blinded by greed and wrath and why have we not seen our mistakes! Take up your own crosses and if we all must hang on the cross then we all cannot crucify each other!

 How can the world be so filled with hate? We feed off of fear, we feed off of misery! We are Romans! Why is the world so entertained by death?

 We watch people fight and cut and stab and shoot but what is so interesting about true murder? Video games and movies do not apply, these are stories that are false! But real death and real pain- it's not fun seeing a man suffer!

 Why do you crucify your children, parents, brothers, sisters, and friends? You hang them on a cross for the world to see what's wrong with them! Un-nail them! Remove the nails and give them water! Give them clothes and take off their crown of thorns! Haven't they suffered enough by your hands?

 Let God be the judge, let our pain come! We are not worthy to crucify and to destroy! We cannot create, we cannot destroy, we can only change! So let go or we will simply fall apart like the Romans did.

 We are decaying.
