The Final Desolation
First the Empire, then the allies,
Now with one blow the imperial
City falls. Symbolic action begins
With a mill stone hurled into the sea.
As the sea closed over the stone,
So will Rome will be no more.
The sound of music, business, and
Home life will all cease.
Rome is to become a grim and
Terrible silent desolation,
Devastated, and obliterated,
Silenced once and for all.
Those who oppose this view
Point out the fact that Rome still
Stands. That is true, but not the
Persecuting Rome of John’s day.
The Christian movement which Rome
Tried to stamp out still stands, and will
Stand when all other Romes have fallen
To decay even as ancient Rome fell.
