The Making of Rome

When Great Rome is built, it is not built in a day

It takes a whole day to add just one brick

For one brick to be laid, the sun labors from dawn to dusk

Till the numerous bricks all come together

To give Great Rome its elegance and grace

Then and now bricks are discovered and rediscovered

Bricks that were for many seasons meaningless 

Become the most prized bricks that make the difference

It takes numerous moons to reach that deep understanding

And numerous rains for the foundation to hold together

Each brick has a role to play in the development

Each brick laid is the foundation to the next

Each brick is a necessary drop in the drum of understanding

There is an important gap of knowledge that it must fill

There are no shortcuts to building Great Rome
