Day the Romans Levelled the City

The column of Romans came from the east
They mowed down our stone structures
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
We were all intimidated as the amphitheater fell
This was totally unexpected and frightening.

We ran from them for there was no choice
They had the power, and they were fierce
We were minions, who only knew tools
We did not know weaponry or war
And we did not want to.

Makes me wonder how it must have been to have lived through the demise of that great civilization. Dare I think about it? I think not.
