| + | 73 years before the advent of the christian era, | ||
| + | as rome was taking over any land within reach, | ||
| + | setting up proxy governmnents in the conquered lands, | ||
| + | there lived one such man given just such a job. | ||
| + | gaius verres. go. | ||
| + | |||
| + | a praetor held a position which operated on trust. | ||
| + | he was to govern instead of the emperor himself. | ||
| + | it was an easy easy privilege to abuse. | ||
| + | and verres did so. | ||
| + | |||
| + | he was the governor of agrigentum which we now know as sicily. | ||
| + | and he stole everything that wasn't nailed down, | ||
| + | took improper advantage of other men's wives. | ||
| + | the list goes on. trust me. | ||
| + | cicero wrote it all down. | ||
| + | |||
| + | at syracuse verres welcomed a band of pirates. | ||
| + | they all drank and danced and sang on the shore, | ||
| + | and when the husband of one of verres' | ||
| + | came bringing a fleet of boats with him, | ||
| + | verius, clever, if diabolical, gave him a job. | ||
| + | and enlisted the pirates to burn the whole fleet down. | ||
| + | |||
| + | the boats burned in the sicilian harbor | ||
| + | the flames rose hundreds of feet into the air | ||
| + | we stood on the shore watching them burn we stood | ||
| + | on the shore, we heard the old songs. hey! | ||
