A Slave's Lament
Mighty ancient Rome,
How could ı have forgotten your shining glamorous solis.
So many touching love stories had taken place in your unprecedented gardens of beauty
And so many passionate desires could not even ever have gotten respond to their desperate proposals.
Calpurnia,Silvia,Cassiana,Annia...
All those ancient Roman ladies wandering around with their breathtaking beauty
will deny your love, reject your proposal and turn down your hopes, ignore your younghood
just because you're nothing more than a poor slave even without holding a Roman citizenship
then all your glorious civilization, temples, holy gods and pantheons, your mighty beauties
all those values just shrank and have become meaningless in the sight of my depressive eyes
because what does it matter anyway as long as you don't have justice and mercy.
St. Alien.
