CARTHAGE II
Carthage fell
and rose again
and was conquered
and crushed and burnt
and enslaved.
The city was dismantled
demolished, decimated.
Its towers razed
its people raped
its fields torched.
Carthage was trashed
and rose again
and fell again.
The fire could not destroy Carthage.
Carthage was stronger than its threats
for a while, at least.
Do you suppose, then
we could be a little bit more
like Carthage?
