Marcus Aurelius Wanted To Escape Memory

Marcus Aurelius Wanted To Escape Memory
by Robert Paul Gass (aka Imagines Vinco aka Ultionem Vinco)
Of blows before the ages dark the black
Of Aetna belched the son of Paulus dread
As glaring fierce to grow in green attack
Of sanguinary fates for senate dead.
The Gradivus of arenaceous dome
To sup the rape of Rome as drooling loves
Of women saw the blond of hair as home
Of hearts to swoon in watching game of doves.
The literary scholar sent the men
To Ass of catacombs for rape of trades
And Marcus reared the bane destroying den
Perverse erasing occidental raids.
For sire The Pleasant sought nothing's mound
And Ass to read the flawless Greek to bound.
