The Colosseum
I stand and contemplate it—
A marvel made of stone.
Wondering what the past was like— About which some is known.
This structure is majestic—
With columns grand and tall.
And arches all around me—
They form a round, strong wall.
Some fifty thousand people
Gazed down to watch the game—
Of battling men and wild beasts— Ferocious and untamed.
I almost hear the people—
The groans, and gasps, and cheers— As gladiators wrestle—
With shields, and swords, and spears.
But now it stands abandoned— A ruin from the past.
Alone but not forgotten—
Its history will last.
