The siege is
long and hard
for Athens
The tyrant
lives in luxoury
people starve
Bitter slaves
send messages
to Sulla
detailing
how the walls
might be breached
This knowledge
allows Sulla
to enter Athens
Inside Athens
Romans rampage
sparing none
The starving
Athenians offer
feeble defence
Women and children
are slaughtered
with their men
Rivers of blood
flow freely
through the streets
