Rome

Where I grew up and once a home

what was once the mother of the world 

Will never return 

Rome

Now falling in ruins with red, gray, and white 

Dust flying everywhere left and right

People fighting everywhere 

World caught on fire 

It brought up my desire 

Rome

Where people could trade to earn cash

Crash 

There goes the bridge falling down 

But I know that all is well

Because Rome will rise up again and excel
