THE NERO(ES) - BY GBADÉ OLÚMÚREWÁ.

Have you read or heard, 
About one Claudius Caesar, 
Of the Roman Empire? 
Who was both cruel and wicked, 
Germanicus who died at 30:
But proudly massacred his wives;
And children before departure except one.

Was he just diplomatic? 
Not that alone; but also got proclaimed, 
As an adult at 14.

Lately, in my own world, 
Have I seen the living replica of, 
The proud and dreadful Emperor.

Like I remain battered, 
Shall you, be after your knowledge, 
Of these present Nero(es).

My country has her Nero(es), 
As Sabina and Messalina had theirs, 
My home sits unhealthy, 
Despite many riches, 
The fear of dreadful diseases and death, 
Has become the days' bane,
That which is caused by the holy Neroes.

The Neroes are the known 'Heroes', 
The expert looters and SAVIOURS, 
In the extreme.

The real Nero of the Roman Origin, 
Planted his seeds -  his traits. 
As he ordered to marry a castrated and freed slave_
Is what our civilised male youths do this epoch!

      *******men marrying men*******
When several women lack companions.

The married ones also exhibit;
Nero's character as they do beat, 
Their wives and children almost to, 
Or to death.
As Nero killed so proudly, 
Will they shout openly, 
'Na me go kill you all'- 
       **talking to the wives and the children **

Other Neroes I know of, 
Are the religious fighters and diehards.

Those who love religion but, 
Hate the truth and the God of Love.

Emperor Nero persecuted ancient believers, 
Because of his being, 
So as my countrymen do these days, 
On the platform of avenging God's course.

Nero's end was a freewill death  -  SUICIDE 
What yours shall eventually be, 
I KNOW NOT!
