Acropolis and museum

Spent hours in the museum for us to learn
Stories behind the Grecian artefacts & urns.
Of Persians & Romans attacking the landscape
The constant destruction almost felt like rape.

Intricately carved wall friezes the invaders did pillage
To transport overseas and display in a foreign village.
Destroyed monument ruins, their puzzle pieces a mess
Marble statues whose silent secrets you must guess.

Incredibly the Athenian spirit survived the clashes
The Acropolis like a Phoenix rebuilding from ashes.
As you stand on that ground like so many before
Attempting to fathom history, you will be in awe.Read more
