A Roma

Her city steps carved of marble
Many valiant tounges have spoken on her behalf
   Her riches make her stand out
Capital to many, gold

The cementery; bed to those whom only claim bravery
   Roman emperors stand frozen in time
Statues guarding her fundamentals

All to her glory
   Blood the lowest price she paid for all that she has

May Gold have mercy, Amen

A ROMA---many died fighting for what Rome holds today--and yes i have to say its a beautiful grand city--very rich in architecture and noble--its a pity that to gain all glory--blood was the price-it was always like that and sometimes its still is in manty countries---charma

Your words make a very clear picture in the reader's mind and the sarcasm is felt too. Indeed she did fall with her whole empire, didn't she? But it is a beautiful city never the less to this day. I enjoyed this read. Caroline.
