Fallen Idols...

The Glory that was Rome
      with all its faults and horrors
      was a Grand Design,
      ruined by Man's guilt
      in his own inequities...
By believing in the Heavens,
      he lost Faith in himself
      and in doing so
      allowed himself to be led
      by corrupt emperors
      and vain sacerdotals,
      using the Future
      to deny the Past
      and minimize the Present...
Look Within,
     realize what
     you are Without,
     peer beyond yourself
     and the Shadows of Doubt;
     trust your instincts,
     they never lie;
     don't be afraid to cry
     for yourself and others'
     for only Warriors cry,
     only Warriors cry
     at the Battle that still rages,
     always has
     that will for Ages...
