Romulus

(inspired by)

Oh poor little powerful Black Romeo

where is your Remus

didn't you suck the same breast

fed by hunger

your thoughts of the seat upon your Palatine

your throne

while you listen to sighs

you deceive yourself

deceive yourself

little jester to be

adoratio of

Coloseum

for it's pity & compassion that emptiness echoed...

of the Great City remains,

Rome marble white

in blood being built while

you a nowhere

spirit scattered throughout the world

not having conquered the throne

to sit

in true name...

Oh little Black Romeo

of powerful tongue and intrigue

mad comedy indeed

because you played as fed

by building yourself a theater

Rome as your stage,

empty seats, sea, see

only nets around and bodies of gasping fish,

“BREAD AND CIRCUSES!”

Episodic role

an actor without identity

when a not is...

Who is the used?!

!?

Satiated

by hunger games??

Indeed a play
