Fall of the Empire

All roads lead to Rome
As the migration begins
So goes the fall of the empire
Once invincible once respected now cursed
Weakness in the Senate corruption speaks
Destroyed internally by a lack of integriity in its 
Leaders
Lies become truth
Deception its dogma
City burned but no lessons learned
Historians document the fall but no notes taken
Thought forsaken
All roads lead to Washington.
