Romulus

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Used to be king of the world

Unbeknownst to you

Ruler of one

Into all

I was shown the truth

Youth was my edict

The law of the land

I decreed it and freed it

With sword clenched in hand

And commanded the finest

Contingency plan

Prosperous in a gilded age

Advent of man

Common in its exceptional

Privileges granted

For all a most plentiful harvest

Was planted

Supplanted the former theocracy

Waned

And in its wake logic and reason

Then reigned

As supreme as the beings

Extremely would dream

Of utopian unions

To be, I would deem

surreal poetry
