Empire Wolf Brother Capital Romeing

Striding into and under the town
gate's

Two brother's came a riding
wolf back

Searching for a capital city on
which to build an empire forth

Subjugating the masses into subject's

And the battled conquered into
slavery

Ceaser , Emperor , Senator

Pretorians , Centurions , Gladiator
at the ready to guard the faith

From pagan diety to singularity
theologians

And so usher in the origins of 
Catholicism and the Holy Bible

To build a church opon the basis
of the teachings of the Jew once
crucified named Jesus 

Who entered Jerusalem astride
a donkeys back to heal the
sick and poor and speak of
love and forgiveness

Who ended up becoming 
Jesus of the new Jerusalem

Who's capital still to this day
is based in Rome be that
Vatican City

Ever since and before the 
dark ages of enlightenment

I actually find it difficult to opine on this one Christopher, everything we know about the history of Christianity is open to interpretation, look at all the different branches of it, I do not deny the fact that Rome became Christian but it did not happen seamlessly overnight, your poem is a fantastic interpretation of this story really well crafted and thought out, love that dark ages of enlightenment stanza at the end, because that is where the water muddies for me anyway, cheers David

Human History is very sketchy we probably know more about the dinosaurs than dark ages, sometimes humans rewrite history to suit themselves, black adder is an absolute authority on history’s truths, they point out the obvious yet it’s hilarious very strange indeed

Jesus was Jewish David and the Son of God therefore theoretically wouldn't he be Jewish ? Repatriated and claimed by the Romans in the name of there own Church

Indeed David The Romans where the best record keepers in history yet they have no written documented historical record of him therefore open to interpretation ?? No it didnt happen overnight it was formed by the politics of the day. Everything you said is right regarding this. And as you so correctly pointed out Dark Ages / Enlightenment ?
