Roman Guard
What is it you must protect
from a shield behind you.
The sword to slash at
like a poet with words
to wield; challenge
every convention.
But Rome wasn't built
on this attack, attack,
everything you see.
Maybe people will
see the Roman guard
as a protector, but
there are two sides
to every story.
Maybe we like the idea,
what sticks doesn't click.
Or that maybe
you can be
also wrong.
And not see it.
