Sounds an awful lot like DC to me.
Ya needed a strong stomach back then.. And a good ventilator mask.
I can only imagine the stench, a kingdom come apart
At its seams and sinews..
Ripped to shred by indifferent mobs
And vanquishing hordes of barbarians wearing black leather.
The good old days..
Some times nations fall to outside forces,,
Sometimes from by rotting from within..
In the end, we are all victims of history
As well as its students.
Maybe things will click better next time around. ;-)
Yea. Washington, BC.
