Decline of Empires

When unemployment and inflation,
untenable wars and moral disintegration
started to ruin the Roman Nation,
they gave them bread and circuses
to pacify their people with recreation,
and now, TV, Internet, Welfare and Stimuli
try to remedy our rapid deterioration,
thus, Spengler describes it best
in his 1918 book 'The Decline of The West'
with an accurately predictive observation
of the historic rise and fall of empires,
cultures, civilizations and every nation.
