Middle Age

x

I’ve been watching

The History Channel about

Medieval times

x

I wonder how it was

How it might be

To work outside

The ruined Coliseum

Or another broken

Roman place,

Knowing that the time before

Was more advanced

Than ours

x

We can look up

Look back

Behold the slowly falling

Structures

That we loot for stone,

For wood for fuel

x

There was a golden age

And if we knew

A golden age before that

And another

x

All better times than hours

We work

Cutting grass

Bearing water

Hoping that the overlords

Should they invade again

Should leave us something,

After
