Cornerstone of Rome
…who would have known
Door mouse
of the house of Nobles
In the back ground stood he
bowed low
Yet
Fated well, this delicate form
by Sisters Three
The gods nodding in affirmation
when with Laurel Wreath
crowned is he
Cripple made king
Frailty his Salvation
Affliction paved his path
to immortal initiation
Failed historian
turned ruler
of an Empire
To rule
never once
being his desire
If
truly
the gods
laugh at our
plans
At poor Claudius
surely they laughed
Heads held in their hands
