When in Rome
Written By Alethea Jimison
“Everything bigger and better, huh? How did that work out for the Roman Empire and the Titanic?”
Alethea the Wordsmith
When in Rome, do as the Roman’s.A titter of laughterThe clinking of crystal glasses Celebrate the lifestyle of the rich and famousCredit your pocket with the illusion of wealthSlide that card to hide your filthThe festering wounds of your insecuritiesWork the job that promises securityWhen in Rome, right? Hide your fears behind a smile.Drink your tears under the tableLet’s take a selfie, because we’re too cuteValidate your beauty with a filter that hides your truth.Go ahead, when in Rome, right? We’re so pretty with our lies.OMG! We’re hot! Like so HOT!When in Rome, right?
We are all on the crashing Titanic.Don’t worry, there’s no need to panic Some are jumping onto the rafts and life-savers.Yeah it’s not cozy but they’re survivors Some people are going to sink with the shipThose are the representatives of the sick They don’t want to get salt water on a fancy smockThey laugh at those leaving while they mock They curl contemptuous lips at some as if they stink.They refuse to accept they’re still going to get wet when it’s time to sink.When in Rome, right?
