Black Roman

……allegiance to greed, Samaritans take heed or bleed for the empire, call me sire as I pray to Ploutos, release the restraints of my greed that I may know wealth beyond ages, well after Father Time has turned the last pages, after the goddess Libertas released those in cages. I’ll be courageously egregious, leaving other citizens speechless; my skin is black, but my blood is Roman, don’t confuse it with my last name Coleman, or with the fact I’m a showman, my Roman acts has given whole civilizations the axe, check your facts, I feel more Roman with every act, a squirrel pushing a pearl, trying to turn this into my world, so I can give it to my baby girl, that she may wear it about her neck, or a trinket around her ankle, she’s too young to say thank you, all this, I might do, if I reach such heights to.
