The Ancient World
By Gene

Sumer, with remarkable rivers,
Great, glorious gardens,
Gigantic, towering ziggurats.

Egypt, with wicked, cruel Pharaohs,
Praiseworthy pyramids
The beautiful, lush Nile.

Israel, with God’s amazing law.
The towering temple,
And the pleasant promised land.

Greece, with hideous gods,
Astonishing athletics,
Intriguing philosophers.

Rome, with exquisite emperors,
Immense armies,
Fascinating gladiators.

The Ancient World,
Monumental, courageous, captivating.
