The Romans
made slavery \'civilized\'
~ gave \'low-lifes\'
a \'social\'
ladder to scale...
Their classist culture
now realized
abroad, has many
struggling to
not appear to fail.

Britain is
still reeling from
the Roman invasion;
torn
between
wanting to impress
those long dead
masters of war,
and the feeling that
they might have been
happier with
the gods they had before.
