The sky had turned black despite it being the day
Three days of darkness begun, start of our decay
We should have been aware, long before the time
But we lingered in pleasure, fantasies of the mind
The sun was missing and we'd forgotten the truth
Had we tried, we'd heard approaching horse hooves
War, Famine, Plague, and Death were on their way
We were more concerned with sex, bread, and circus
iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli /
vendimus, effudit curas; nam qui
dabat olim /
imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se /
continet atque
duas tantum res anxius optat, /
panem et circenses.
Juvenal
