Old walls hold back #time,
Silent ruin standing,
Years hidden in stones.

Cold wind screams their names,
Echoing battles long lost,
As frost bites my ear.

"What... was that fight for?"
Monarch asks the bloodied knight,
"...Sire... you ordered it?"

Modernity ascribes meaning
On generations of our ancestors
Forgetting that looking back’s demeaning
(Evéry Soul’s trapped in today’s course)

📜 This Day in History – Sept 28
Pompey the Great, assassinated.

So I wrote this.

Pompey, You Murky, Magnanimous Fool

Pompey, you murky, magnanimous fool—
Now watch as Caesar makes you his tool...
