And Nero played on his harp
because he thought
his time as an artist
had arrived
when Rome engulfed in flames
and confused by the music
by the surely melodic sound
the plebs thought
Nero himself
burned the city,
every road leads to,
down.
Violence is art
he understood it
because it is everywhere;
is peak emotion;
peaks upon
the whole you
trying to hide
until its time has come.
As response Nero
only burned the Christians down
which gave the oppressed a voice;
bad leads not to bad;
it is not that simple.
What did you do with your violence today;
did you swallow hastily
what you put under your tongue?
